Why Can't I Right-click Open A Bookmark Into A Private Window?

Hello Mozilla,
I have always wondered why am I not allowed to right-click open any of my bookmarks from a normal window into a "Private Window" like in Opera or "Incognito Window" like in Google Chrome???
Why do I first have to click open the menu(or Ctrl+Shift+P), click "New Private Window" just so I can then be able to use my bookmarks in Private mode. In Google Chrome and Opera I don't need to open a Private Window. I can just right-click any bookmark in a normal window and automatically open it into a private window for many years now.
Why can't Firefox do the same?

Why can't it do it natively like Opera and Chrome?
"You will also have the choice in the context menu to open a bookmark in a new Private Tab."
How do I open/access "context menu"?
Also this Add-on does not solve the issue. It still requires me to open a menu, open a "Private tab, then click one of the bookmarks instead of the direct right click-bookmark-into-Private/Incognito-Window method of Opera and Chrome.

I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8?

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8 to open the selected website in new windows? I was able to do that in the last version of Safari before upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8.

Having to hold down the command key obviates the ease of use where I used to just click with my scroll wheel to open several of the Top Sites in new tabs.

Why can't I right click in MAX anymore?

When I learned I had to install silverlight to use MAX, I was somewhat dissappointed but I understand adopting new technologies. I did become quite irate when I tried copying the IP of my EVS. The screenshot below displays the problem I found when right clicking on the text. Can anyone explain why my LabVIEW deified right click is broken?

Silverlight is a promising but maturing technology. The current version doesn't support right click menus. If you want to check out some of the cool things Silverlight does provide, check out the new NI Network Browser technology!

Why can't i right click a bookmark inside a folder on my favourites bar?

I can right click a bookmark on my favorites bar to open it in another tab and stuff, but i cant right click the bookmark when it's inside a folder?

Only because Apple didn't make that possible - although you can probably Command click it to open in a new tab.

Why can't I right-click to save images from webpages with FF 3.6.13?

Ever since I updated my FF version to 3.6.13, I find I have trouble saving images from websites. And not just on specific websites, but everywhere (and they aren't protected or anything from saving). In the past I could right-click on them and do "save as..." Now the only option I have is "save link as..." Whenever I click on this, nothing at all happens. Is this a bug with version 3.6.13? It's really annoying.

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.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. 
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions 
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

Why can't I right-click and set desktop picture?

Greetings.
I am having a lot of trouble changing my desktop picture. From what I understand, you right-click the image and click on 'set as desktop picture'. I click it and nothing changes. I have tried to download the image and set it manually through System Preferences but when I go into Desktop & Screen Saver but there are no other folders other than the 'Apple' one that have the wallpapers that come with the computer.
If it's relevant at all, my macbook pro is a 10.6.8 version.

You should be able to do it three ways, some of which you already know:
Right-click image, choose "Set Desktop Picture"
Right-click desktop, choose "Change Desktop Background"
Go into System Preferences, click "Desktop and Screen Saver"
Note when you are in System Preferences, the current desktop is shown in an indented "well." That always indicates that it is a drop target. You don't need to be able to see in the list the pictures or folder you want. Just drag it from the desktop, or iPhoto, or whatever app you're looking at your photo in, and drop it in that well, and it will be set.

If you did want to do it the old-fashioned way and drill through folders and files, you can click the plus symbol [ + ] below the list there and then you can add any folder to the list. In case you have a folder full of desktop backgrounds, for instance.
(I might be wrong about some of this since I am using 10.8)

Why Can't I right click something to search for a ...

I need a simple way to search for a contact and send them a message.
How can I do this in an instant with just a right click?

I can have no problem in any view with a right-click.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Why can't I right-click to see settings?

When I am using my cam and microphone on a website I cannot right-click to get to the settings manager. This started three days ago out of nowhere. What can I do? I am using Google Chrome, but I have tried it on IE and Firefox as well. I am using Windows XP.

I have tried this several times. I have also tried going to my plugins in Google Chrome and disabling Flash. When I say that I can't right click, I mean that when I right click over my cam preview, nothing comes up. Nothing at all. It used to come up with the setting manager and this issue just started a few days ago out of literally nowhere.

Why can't I right click

My mouse and trackpad on my Macbook pro will not right click. I am running Snow Leapord, just recently updated. I had this problem previously with Leapord before I updated, and it seems to have followed me.

That would depend on how you have right-click enabled/setup under your mouse and trackpad settings. Check it and change it around if needed. See what happens.

Why can't I right click and "paste and match style" anymore?

I used this so many times and now it has dissappeared from the new version. Is there some trick to get it back into my drop down menu when I right click?

Right-clicking Open Link in New Tab or Window doesn't work

After upgrading to the latest version, 30.0, the right-click functions to Open link in New Tab or New Window stopped working. When I click the link that I would like to open in new tab or window, the right click window appears, I click on the desired function, and the right click window closes and nothing happens.
I restarted in safe mode and the problem remains. I am using Windows XP. I also tried uninstalling Firefox and then doing a clean re-install and that didn't help.
For now I went back to using version 29.0.1. Yes, I know that it isn't as safe but I can't use Version 30. without the right-click options!!!
I really wish the developers would focus on fixing bugs, vulnerabilities, etc. and leave the basic functions alone! The old saying if it isn't broken don't "fix" it!!!!!

This didn't fix the problem so I have decided to revert to the previous version: 24.6.0 esr. Maybe when version 31 or 32 come around I come back to the "latest" version?

Why doesn't right-click work in Bookmarks menu anymore? Why do I have to open some Bookmark manager to edit/delete Bookmarks?!

Until this 29 update, I was able to simply right-click in the Bookmarks menu on any Bookmark and do whatever I wanted like open it's properties to edit it or simply delete it straight from that menu. Now, suddenly, that right-click menu is all blanked out. It's only usable when you go to the Bookmark manager. Why was it necessary to forbid people from deleting and editing Bookmarks from the Bookmark menu?! Why do I have to now go through some extra steps of opening the Bookmark manager then finding the Bookmark to edit or delete it when I could have done all that straight from the menu?!

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once?
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

WIth upgrade I no longer can right click on a bookmark to open in new tab, only the "open" choice if available to me. How to correct please ?

When I try to right click on a bookmark to open in a new tab the menu pops up but only "open" is bold, the other choices are no longer available. Please advise.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
