The right-click link menu in Firefox 29.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 does not fully display options (cuts off text)

When I right click on a link, the usual menu I used to get in older versions of firefox still shows up. However, it shows up in a box that's much, much smaller than the size of the box in previous versions. The text gets cut off and while I can scroll up and down, I can't scroll left to right to read the text of the option. Actually, I've noticed that this happens with most right click menus now.
For example, if I right-click on a link, I get:
Open Li...
Open Li...
Open Li...
(down facing arrow to hover over to see the rest of the options)
All of the system and Firefox fontsize, menu size etc. are at their default. I haven't changed anything.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Is there any way to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?

Is there any way (about:config tweak, or something) to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?
Screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://picsend.net/images/873089StupidReloadSto.png

I did try the add-on ''Menu Editor'' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ but even when I separate the navigation reload and stop icons and explicitly have both stop and reload set to be visible on the right click context menu I only get the one option showing.
Whilst there may be some way of changing this I do not know how to and I do not really see any use case for making such a change. Only one option of the choice: stop or reload, is available at any instance in time, but that is the option you are able to use, the other option is not active and so is not displayed.

The Right click context menu, and menu butons are all yellow?

The right click context menu, and the Drop down menus for the tool bar, all have Yellow Text.
Everything else is working normally, and the Yellow text is un related to windows itself, as Windows still has the standard coloring for the menus and Right click context. im stumped.

its cosmetic issue mostly, not harmful.

Hmmm, that shouldn't happen. It's difficult to change the text colors in the interface without installing a theme or an add-on that lets you tweak the menus.
Can you try switching between the default theme and your current theme?
Do any of those extensions let you change display settings?

How can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in internet explorer

how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Right-click contextual menu in Firefox 4: Is there a way to move/remove "Open in new tab?"

I don't really like tabbed browsing, but "Open in new tab" is the first choice in the right-click contextual menu. I would like to have "Open in new window" be the first choice.
So is there a way to edit the contextual menu to change the order of menu items or delete them entirely?
Thanks in advance.

This UI change is really stupid and useless. People got used to some specified menu items order. Changing this order could only annoy and anger.
Also the reload button has been relocated. This is another example of stupid Firefox 4 UI change. The good news is that it could easily be relocated to its original place.
It looks like the Firefox developers are suffering from idleness and boredom.
CHANGE IT BACK ASAP!!!

Is it possible to add a button to the right-click context menu for a user in Outlook 2010 using VBA?

I've tried many things and read up quite a bit but I cannot figure this out.
I cannot create an add-in so I have to use VBA.
I want to add a a button to the right-click context menu when I right-click on a user. Is this possible?

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to customize the context menu in Outlook. See
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 for more information.
But VBA doesn't allow to customize the Fluent UI in Outlook, you need to develop an add-in instead.

How do I fix the right-click context menu; it has blank entries and shows no selectable options?

recently I have noticed that my right-click context menu looks like it has no entries. It shows up on a right-click, but the whole menu is blank. On further investigation there are scroll buttons on the top and bottom of the menu and if I hover over the up buttom eventually the normal context commands scroll down from above. I noticed this first a few days ago, shortly after the download of 3.6.13. Today I also noticed that some of my menu bars were showing a similar issue with blank entries in the menus. In one case the menu also didn't register where the mouse was, highlighting a command several steps further up.
Is this something to do with the new Mozilla or something else? I only run a couple of addons, Ad Block Plus and Tab Mix Plus. Can try to capture a screen shot of the issue, but difficult since the menu dissapears when I try to do a screen grab!
All help is much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the quick response!
While trying to find info on how to fix this I looked up some context menu addons for FF and tried one. It didn't work so I uninstalled it and after that everything was back to normal. Odd, but there you have it. I still don't know what went wrong in the first place but for the moment it appears to have cleared up.
Next time though I will try loading into Safe Mode if I find any issues (I forgot there was one!).
Thanks for getting back to me again.

What Acrobat SDK Technology I need to build a plugin that creates a new item to the Right-Click context menu?

I want to develop a plugin for Adobe Reader that will be invoked through a new item in the Right-Click menu.
What is the right SDK Technology to build this new item? Javascript, Interapplication Communication or a C/C++ plugin?
I would feel more comfortable with JS or C#, but I don't know if I must use the C++ API to be able to build such level of integration.
Thank you very much.

Plugins are written in C/C++ and especially something such as adding to the UI.
To add this to Acrobat, no license or fee is required - you can do it today with just the SDK and Acrobat.
However, to build a plugin for Reader, you will need to obtain a license from Adobe. Details are in the SDK under "Reader Integration Key License Agreement" (RIKLA).

The Right-click context menu on bookmarks on my mac is not working

Hi. After recently upgrading to FF 3.6.12 on my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.4, I can no longer right-click on my individual bookmark names, and get the context menu to come up. It will simply not appear in some areas, and in other areas it works wrong, and in one area, it works correctly. For example:
1. If I choose Bookmarks from the top menu, and right-click on a bookmark name, the context menu does not come up and FF simply opens that webpage the same as if I had left-clicked on it.
2. If I right-click on a Bookmark from the toolbar menu on the far right, by clicking on >>, in this list, if I right-click, nothing at all happens. The context menu does not come up and it also does not go to the webpage as it shouldn't.
3. Now, if I right-click on a bookmark name on the Bookmarks Toolbar running horizontal right above the Tabs, these bookmarks do behave properly. The normal context menu comes up.
So as you can see, I'm getting 3 different behaviors when right-clicking on bookmark names in 3 different areas. Help....
Thanks...

I have my bookmarks in lots of folders on the bookmarks toolbar, if i want to right click on any bookmark in a folder to get the context menu i cannot get the context menu to appear. I thought it was me but I think this is the same issue described above. I would really like to have this working.

How can I edit the right-click context menu?

I seem to have two entries for every Adobe product when I right-click a file and choose "Open With..." Is there a way to either clean it out automatically, or fix this myself?
...Mike

Could be caused by several things I believe.
You have already checked you have only one application folder with one Adobe
app for each in it on your Disk?
Also look in the preferences in Bridge under file type associations for the
given extensions, do they also show double applications?
Try first to refresh preferences with restart Bridge holding down option
key, it is the first aid for Bridge and curing many problems.
Also use Disk Utility to check and repair permissions for your OS.

How to remove "Open with... Adobe Acrobat" from the right click context menu

We want to deploy Adobe Acrobat on our Citrix envoriment. At this moment we have Adobe Reader for all users installed. Adobe Acrobat should be only availible to a selection of users. I've tried to remove everything with the custimaztion tool but one thing which I'm not able to is to remove the option when you right click a PDF document that you can choose to open with and then Adobe Acrobat XI. I want to disable this because else users who don't have the permission to run Adobe Acrobat are still able to run it.

Sorry but you're not right, why are there then whtiepapers how to install it on Citrix?

Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).
*System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

Firefox 3.6.9 on mac running 10.4.11 does not have option for custom headers when printing.

I am trying to print web content for a college project, it requires custom headers and footers. Firefox 3.6.9 does not have a custom option in the header/footer lists. In the help pages for Firefox is shows this option. Is this missing only on the Mac version? Thanks for any info.

See if this works.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit enter.
Filter = '''print.print''' 
There are 6 prefs for headers / footers. 
'''print.print_header...''' center, left, & right 
and 
'''print.print_footer...''' center, left, & right 
You can add what you want in the '''''Value''''' column and then Restart Firefox to effect the change.

"Save link as" in Right-click Context menu is not working properly.

Firefox 17: In a Google search, when I right click on a .pdf link, the popup window automatically gives a "url" filename and "Firefox Document" as filetype. Previously, the filename would be whatever it was on the website (ie. "filename.pdf") and the filetype would be "Adobe Acrobat Document".
I know this problem has less to do with Firefox and more to do with JavaScript, because the problem disappears if you disable JavaScript (Tools -- Options -- Content -- uncheck "Enable JavaScript"). What's happening is that JavaScript is somehow altering the link from a purely .pdf link to something else -- perhaps encasing the link inside a set of commands, and the computer is trying to save the command string instead of recognizing the link for what it is. When JavaScript is disabled in Google searches, the highlighted "[PDF]" link no longer appears in front of the link itself, and the "Save link as" function on the right-click works properly.
Any JavaScript junkies want to try their hand at creating a workaround? One that ensures that the reference created by the right-click context menu matches exactly what the filename is for the website?

The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server. 
You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

How do I modify the file right-click context menu to add "creat shortcut"?

I have just chosen Mozilla as my browser and want to add shortcuts to files by using the right-click context menu, but there is no "create shortcut" choice displayed.

Could you describe where you're clicking, exactly? Are you clicking on a web page, or clicking a link on a web page? If you are using Firefox to browse files on your hard drive, you're probably better off using Windows Explorer to do that since Firefox doesn't have all the functions of Windows.
