When I right click on any page the menu won't appear properly and some times the whole menu won't even appear. And on the bottom of firefox there is an extra bar which just appeared and won't go away.

The menu has trouble appearing properly, and sometimes doesn't appear at all.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

    Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

    I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
    Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected.  I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
    Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
    If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

  • Whenever I right click on any link the link gets opened in new tab

    Whenever I right click on any link, along with context menu pop up (Correct property) the said link also gets opened in new tab (next to running tab in background : wrong property) Initially I thought it is due to one of the add-on installed on searching I find I installed add-on Right Link so I removed it still instead of just opening context menu the link also was getting opened as described so I reinstalled the add-on Right Link and tried to disable it via option provided by them (A status bar button, F2, a tool menu option) and confirmed in about:config that value of extensions.rightlinks.enabled;false, still could not stop opening link when I right click on it
    Now I wonder whether the said add-on is culprit or any other add-on is responsible for this behavior ?

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    You can first strict the enabling to tab related extensions and extensions added by security software.
    If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
    Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

  • When I right click, a document is visible, but won't open

    When I right click on the Numbers icon, I can see recent documents.  However, when I click on the document I'm trying to open, the document does not open.  The document also does not show up in a spotlight search.  What's happening?

    It sounds like the document has been deleted. The recent items, either in the Dock icon or the recent menu, in the iWork apps remembers the names of files you opened but doesn't remove them if you've removed the file.

    Hi,
    Im using Windows 7, and i could always
    go down to my TaskBar and Right Click
    Icons, and active icons, which would bring up
    the standard Right Click Menu list.
    PROBLEM
    As soon as i moved my Mouse away from
    the bottom Window 7 Task Bar to go a couple
    of millimeters above to left click an option on
    the Context Menu i opened with my right click,
    The whole Menu disappears, and this happens in
    Firefox version 29.01, other programs in Firefox,
    and other such as Skype.
    When i was running Firefox 28
    i didn't have this problem, can you help me out.
    Thank You

  • When I right click on a page to send the page link to someone the link's not inserted in the mail page.

    Not really anything more to add to the problem. It's just that simple. Right click on page, choose 'send link' and the mail page that comes up (in Thunderbird) doesn't contain the link as it always did in previous versions. I have to copy and paste the link which makes the right click useless.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • When I right-click on an image, the dialog box (copy image, save image, etc) is now tiny

    The right-click menu recently changed - it now only shows a max of three menu items in a very small box.
    Compounding the problem is the speed at which the menu items scroll. It's so quick that I can't pick the menu item I want. I have to use the up or down arrow keys.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Lately when I try to right click it opens a new tab with recent searchs.I have to go back to the tab and right click again to get the options. How do i fix it?

    When I try to right click now instead of getting the menu it goes into a new tab showing recent searches.I have to go back and right click again to get the menu and do what I wanted in the first place.Is there a way to fix this.This is really irritating.I like firefox but I'm ready to go back to Chrome. Thanks for any help.

    You're right-clicking a link? I can't think of any setting that opens a blank tab when you right-click in a page. It's also strange that it would occur on the first click but not on the second click.
    Does this affect all sites?
    Are you expecting Firefox's context menu or the site's context menu?
    One thing that comes to mind is overriding the site's own right-click handler by disabling scripts from capturing the right click. This is set under
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
    To the right of "Enable JavaScript" is a button to access "Advanced" options. If it's checked, uncheck the box for "Disable or replace context menus".

  • Is there a way to change the order of the list that appears when i right click on a link?

    In previous versions of firefox, when i right clicked on a link the list that appeareded was in order:
    first Open Link in New Window
    second Open Link in New Tab
    In firefox 4 this is reversed. Is there a way to change it back?

    You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

  • I am using firefox 3.6.7. with Windows 7. There is no " sort by name" in the dropo down when I right click. How do I alphabatize my book marks?

    I want to alphabetize my bookmarks. I am using Firefox 3.6.7 with Windows 7. When I right click on a bookmark no "sort by name" appears in the drop down. How can I do this/

    In Firefox 3 the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks.
    Easiest to sort by name is to do that in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) or in the sidebar and right-click the folder that you want to sort.

    I am using Adobe 10.1.2 with Windows 7.
    Thank you in advance for your thoughts and help

    As for your comment on this being my first Mac, and the program issue, you misunderstood. Yes the eMac is in fact my first, personally owned, Mac computer other than the original Apple II series floppy fed PC, in which me and my father owned. The only other Apple/Macintosh computer I had experience on was my father's 13" MacBook Pro, and 20" iMac (both ran OSX Tiger 10.4.11, just as the one I have know runs). The iMac was upgraded to Snow Leopard due to our need for better picture/video/audio editing software such as that of Adobe, and the Macbook Pro was sold because of a business that was started being siphoned out of money. I purchased the eMac from a small business based off of eBay. It had the majority of OSX Tiger software, only missing minor programs like Photobooth. Other than that, it had no wireless software like BlueTooth, Wi-Fi capabilities, wireless sync, ect... But alas, when you buy a Apple/Mac computer, you must take a few cutbacks when purchasing it (even refurb.) for around $120.00 including taxing, shipping, handling, ect... I purchased nearly all of my software from co-workers and friends who had an extra key, or I would receive the software disc from them, and buy a key. The only "illegal" thing I had on the computer was music I had downloaded from LimeWire. I have never, and will never, trust any software coming from a torrent download site.

  • Customizing items on right click of a page in siteadmin

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where we want to show users a "prompt" when user right clicks on a page and selects any of the items. Please see the attached snapshot on what i am talking about.
    I want something similar to what is prompted when someone clicks on delete and i want it on click of the activate button. Basically i want to ask the user - "are you sure you want to activate".
    has anyone done this before. Can you please advice how this can be achieved?
    Cheers!

    Why do you need paths & selections just use CQ.wcm.SiteAdmin.activatePage.call(this);
    Attach below a method just call this at /apps/wcm/core/content/siteadmin/actions/activate
    CQ.wcm.SiteAdmin.iActPage = function() {
        var selections = this.getSelectedPages();
        var msg = (selections.length > 1) ?
                  CQ.I18n.getMessage("You are going to activate the following pages: ") :
                  CQ.I18n.getMessage("You are going to activate the following page: ");
        msg += "<br/><br/>";
        var max = 7;
        for (var i=0; i<selections.length; i++) {
            if (i == max) {
                msg += CQ.I18n.getMessage("(and {0} more...)", [selections.length-i], "pages to activate") + "<br/>";
                break;
            var page = CQ.shared.XSS.getXSSRecordPropertyValue(selections[i], "title");
            if (!page) {
                page = selections[i].get("label");
            msg += page + "<br/>";
        msg += "<br/>" + CQ.I18n.getMessage("Are you sure?");
        var title = (selections.length > 1) ?
                CQ.I18n.getMessage("Activate Pages")
                : CQ.I18n.getMessage("Activate Page");
        CQ.Ext.Msg.show({
            "title":title,
            "msg":msg,
            "buttons":CQ.Ext.Msg.YESNO,
            "icon":CQ.Ext.MessageBox.QUESTION,

  • I can't click on any of the library search results in itunes

    Hi all.  When I'm searching my library in the search box, the results come up, but I'm unable to click on either the plus sign, arrow or right click on any of the search results. First off let me say, I've read about the "untick 'search entire library' " option, but that's not what I'm looking for.  I actually like the full library search with dropdown results, but unfortunately it seems to be broken.  I can't figure out how to really fix this.  I'm not looking for a workaround, I'm looking for the actual solution.  Thanks!

  • The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation tool bar. When I right click and select customize it appears and when I click done on the customization box button, it disappears.

    The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation toolbar. It appears when I right click on the navigation and click customize. As soon as I close the customization window it disappears again. I can no longer access the library to back up my bookmarks. Why did you change it from Firefox 3 where you could clock on the bookmarks tab and be able to backup your bookmarks?

    Actually the Bookmarks Menu button doesn't appear because you have the Menu Bar visible in your first screenshot. The Bookmarks Menu button should appear to the right of the overflow chevron on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the Menu Bar is hidden.
