The right-click mouse function stopped working, only on firefox.

After using the right click on a link to open link in a new tab, the right click function disappears, I have 2 arrows one at the top of the menu, one at the bottom, up and down ^ (theres none for down) :P
Anywho, its kinda frustrating, it always happens, and only on firefox, I thought if I upgraded to the new version it would fix it, but it hasn't been happening about a week. Will come back for 2 clicks if I fully exit mozilla, but its frustrating!
Thank christ for ctrl + C and cntrl + V !!
Please help!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When is the right click print function going to work with Firefox 4

Right click print function quit working when I updated to Firefox 4

Firefox has never had a right-click Print menu item by default. If you had that with an earlier version of Firefox, it was added by an extension that you installed and isn't 4.0 compatible right now.
I have been using this extension for that feature, for many years. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/printprint-preview/ - It hasn't been updated for Firefox 4.0 versions yet, so I am using this one temporarily to get a Print Preview option in the Contextual Menus. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ - The Print function is in the Print Preview window. That extension also allows you to edit what is going to be printed, so you can get rid of advertisements, empty multimedia boxes (Firefox won't print Flash or WMP content), and other stuff you don't want on the printed page, to save ink and paper.
That may not be suitable to you as a replacement extension for what you had been using before, but I never print anything from Firefox before using Print Preview. I am tired of wasting ink and paper with Firefox not being able to correctly print web pages that every other web browser can print correctly. If the Print Preview doesn't look correct, I open that page in IE8, Opera11, or Safari 5.0.1 - all of which will print it correctly 99.9% of the time.

Facing Strange Problem in DIR HOW TO DISABLE THE RIGHT CLICK MOUSE IN THE DIRECTOR? (through parent script/ movie?)

Summary : HARD QUESTION : In the DIR file, the game runs well, right click = no effect. Coz I'm not making right click scripts. BUT in EXE file, right click = ERROR.
Explanation :
In the Adobe Director screen, this DIR file game is worked 100%.
I tested right click EVERYWHERE... NOTHING HAPPENS.
Because I don't make any programming with "on rightmouseup" or "on rightmousedown" command.
THEN, I published it into EXE...
I tested right click EVERYWHERE...I hoped the result will be the same as DIR tests....
WHEN I RIGHT CLICK IN THE AREA THAT'S GIVEN ON EXITFRAME ME, IT SHOWS ERROR, CHANGING PICTURES.....
this does not happened in the DIR file...
I didn't make a runmode program or anything else.... This is awkward... mystery for me...
WHY THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN DIR and EXE... it should be exactly the same result.
I have used Director for years.... This is really strange for me...
>>>>>>>>HOW TO DISABLE THE RIGHT CLICK MOUSE IN THE DIRECTOR?
THIS ONE is useless.... It doesn't prevent the rightmouse click,...
      on rightmouseup me
             nothing
     end
      on rightmousedown me
             nothing
     end

Dear Adobe Forums friends
I need your help and guide through this problem...
In the game's dir file that is run on the DIRECTOR softwawre,
the game runs perfectly, I can do LEFT CLICKS (coz I programmed the script)
and when I do RIGHT CLICKS = there are no effect ( coz I don't do script for it)
LATER THIS GAME TURNED INTO EXE.
It supposed to run like the dir file as ABOVE. BUT STRANGELY, WHEN
I DO RIGHT CLICKS, it turns Error and showing as the picture attachment.
The right clicks that goes error are above the picture of numeric button only. (in DIR file
this run normal). I looked into the script behind the numeric button picture, there are only "on exitframe me", there are no script I made inside the "on exitframe me" that is triggering RIGHT CLICKS.
1. I wonder why there are differences in DIR and EXE effect
2. Why right click? Left click effects are all normal.
3. IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE ALL RIGHT CLICKs since the beginning of EXE. So the game will be run normal. I don't need right clicks anyway, but whenever people do right click there will be ERROR.??
4. Is there any way to STOP THE MESSSAGE BOX TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF THE GAME? (I hate the Dirrector Error Message Box), or auto press OK.
NB: this game uses Buddy API Xtras, File IO Xtras.
Thx
David S

Inside the browser, right click on the mouse seems to be disabled. How can I enable the right click button? It works fine on toolbars and tab bar but not inside tabs or windows. I would like to be able to copy and paste and such. Thank you

Right mouse button does not open any menu when clicked inside of tabs or windows. Works properly on the toolbars, in the address line, search bar...etc. but has no action on the page I'm browsing. I purchased a mouse recently and like the old one, the right button works in all other areas of my operating system. I would like to know if there is a setting in firefox that I can change to correct this.

There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
See Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
[ ] "Disable or replace context menus"
There are other things that need attention:

Help! Keyboard randomly stops working only with finder?

My macbook pro keyboard and my silver Apple bluetooth keyboard (primary keyboard) randomly stop working in Finder can anyone explain? Heres the details:
I usually use my wireless keyboard, and when this happens the keyboard keeps working with everything else, and only stops working in Finder i.e. I can't edit the names of files or even click through files with the arrow keys. (the Macbook Pro keyboard also stops working-only in Finder-during these times too as I just tested..)
Also, Finder keeps working its not frozen or anything, I can click around in it with the mouse and open files/apps, etc.
This has only happened approximately 3 or 4 times (I've had the keyboard since the new ones were released and the computer for 1.5 yrs)
Lastly, when I restart the OS (10.4.11) the problem disappears for a week or more..
help!

Don't do that. Archbang isn't Arch and it doesn't "get rid of installation pain," it just turns it into long term confusion and dependence...

Copy and paste function stopped working?

The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
How do I recover this function?
Thanks.

Hi Magno2002
Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

HT2216 I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. Any clues?

I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store. Any help gratefully received?

Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

The right click function has stopped working on by trackpad

The right click function has stoped working? any idea how to remediate?

It could be as simple as not having the two-finger secondary click function enabled in the Trackpad seetings in System Preferences.
Does Control-Click work? (holding the CONTROL key, while clicking)

I can't get my iMac to respond only the right click works

I can't get my iMac to restart itt seems to start Rita back where it was when I restart and my mouse is not responding right. I can't get it to click regularly. Only the right click works

Which mouse and iMac do you have? Over the past 4 years or so there have been at least 3 mice that work on Intel based iMacs.
The first place to check is the mouse's preferences which are at System Preferences - Mouse.
If they are set correctly then do a SMC reset and see if that solves the issue:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Installed snow leopard and the right click on my mouse no longer works. Any ideas?

I just replaced my hard drive and installed a clean copy snow leopard with all updates. The right mouse button (normal wired mouse that came with imac) with the menu drop down is no longer working. changed secondary button in mouse settings and got the right click menu but now when I right click the file or group of files are no longer highlighted. this *****. any ideas?? Between the hassle of replacing a hard drive, mouse problems, firefox, opera, office mac and elgato tv problems and issues im fed up.

Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse should give you controls over the mouse. If not, either Steer Mouse or USB Overdrive might give you better control.

Stop with the right-click answers. Reload is still missing from my View menu.

Please stop with the "right-click" solutions. I don't have a mouse that does a "right-click."
Also, this forum is so hard to use I can't even find my original post so I am starting another one.
How do I get the "reload" function back into my View menu? Please do NOT tell me to "right-click," that is of no use to me.

Hi again pvitari, <br />Sorry you still have problems. Possibly you do not have the option as previously, but you do have workable options to reload webpages using mouse clicks.
*Please confirm or explain ?
<img src="https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/gallery/images/2012-01-03-13-00-12-3d6b4e.png">
*Do you not have a curved blue arrow on the end of the address bar as shown in the above image ?
Your icons may not look exactly like that and will possibly depend on any customising you may have done. The arrow is only available when appropriate and could be: a cross to stop loading, or an arrow to navigate to a site.
See the article

Magic Mouse won't right click on files, but works fine otherwise. 10.6.8

My Magic mouse just suddenly seemd to stop right clicking on files. I can right click on blank sapces in finder or on the desktop and it gives me the usual drop down menu but as soon as I try and right click or ctrl+click on a file there's just nothing. Can't seem to find any similar problems on google. Any ideas?

Hi, yes. The right click would work at start-up until I click on 'always allow' for permissions for google drive, then it dissappears
Unfortunately I found no other workaround other than to switch to the other views (although I strongly dislike working in the other views). But I just use Drive in my internet browser when I do use it, so it's okay for me to uninstall it. Maybe it's something to contact google about so they can fix it on there side.

Mistakenly selected the right click in mouse settings

my son mistakenly selected the right click in the "keyboard and mouse" settings under system preferences . that means my mouse is virtually not usuable now . it doesn't allow anything to clicked using mouse . only mouse works is just to have right click option . Is there way to fix this issue by navigating thru keyboard and change the option to left click from right click. i can reach to window where i see its showing the "right click" option selected but can't do anything to change . please help. othewise i have to re-install the O/S .
this is for Mac OS x .

i can reach to the Keyboad and Mouse Window by right clicking on the system preferences and the type the mouse and keyboard option but after that the tab does work to reach the left radio button.
i am thinking about re-installing as its look like its not that simple for me . just tell me a way to completly format it and reinstall the O/S .
thanks for you answer.

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 menu pops up after I push the right mouse button, instead of when I release it.

I am using an extension All-In-One Gestures. It works on my other installation of Firefox 4 - particularly, the right-click menu pops up if I click right mouse button and then release it so I can perform gesture or turn the wheel instead of getting a right click menu.
But on this installation (basically the same addons and OS), the right-click menu pops up on pushing down the right mouse button so the right-button+wheel gestures do not work, and the menu stays there while I am performing the gesture which is rather annoying.
So I though maybe there is some obscure configuration option to toggle to make right-click menu pop up after the button release? Or is this entirely the extension's fault? Note that it does work as expected on other installation...

You have to enable in Firefox
-> Options -> Content -> Activate JavaScript (yes) -> More
-> Allow scripts the following actions
-> Inactivate or replace context menu (yes)
in order to allow All-in-one-Gesture to block the immediate appearance of the context menu.
If you forbid Firefox JavaScript and/or the manipulation of the context menu by use of JavaScript, All-in-one-Gesture cannot work properly.

The right-click mouse function stopped working, only on firefox.
