An option in right click menu stays open when it is used.

When I use the right click menu to open something in a new tab, or copy it or whatever I chose to do the first time after starting it will leave only one option in the right click menu in the place where it has been enabled until the computer is restarted. What is going on?

  • How can I stop "right-click" menu to open their own boxes?

    Menu boxes (usually those that open when you click on the right button of the mouse) appear without reason.

    The monitor becomes a hive of activity with various boxes opening and, on occasion, an action is triggered accidentally, such as the size of the icons being increased office.

    Part of the same problem is that the mouse will stop then work, for example cannot close the window with it.

    I checked the settings of the mouse, but sees nothing unusual.

    AFAIK, you can set the activity of each button in the advanced touchpad settings.
    Anyway, the whole is not understandable to me.
    Do you use the touch pad or external mouse?

    Try to use an external mouse and disable touchpad with FN + F9 to see if it happens again.

  • By selecting 'Open in a new tab' right-click menu does nothing

    I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now is meaningless.

    When I right click on a web link, and select 'Open in new tab', nothing happens. No tab opens.

    However, I see now countless options irrelevant for that link, such as 'copy the audio location', 'copy the location of the image', 'play', 'pause', etc., when the article I have clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other type of media. The content of the right click menu is now longer than my entire screen, completely out of place for the link I'm clicking on and the only option that is relevant does nothing.

    How can I fix?

    I had the same problem. I found that disable Firebug in my Extensions menu solved the problem, so when I right click it appears the menu of standard options rather than the new options 100 or so which do not apply.

    If you have installed too much Firebug, you might want to give this a shot. I have not upgraded my Firebug in no time so it might be a problem with running an older version of it.

    Hope that helps

  • When I right click, right-click menu opens, but is on the left side. How to make it right?

    When I right click on the menu, the menu bar drop-down click menu to open correctly, down to the right of the mouse pointer, but the problem I have is that where never otherwise I right-click such as office, for example, menu opens downwards and to the left of the mouse pointer. It is very annoying and I have found no way to change this. It worked very well upward until a week ago. I did not alter the settings by default and even tried the "reset default" option under settings of the mouse, but still did not set. Help, please!

    I found the answer to this, and here's how to solve this problem, if anyone else needs it. I think, in the last update, it changed side menu under the Tablet PC settings. Here's how to fix it:

    Click Start, type Tablet PC settings

    Click on the Tablet PC settings link from the start menu search results

    In the Tablet PC Settings dialog box, under handedness, selectleft-handed.

    When this option is selected, the context menus appear on your right, which is the default setting. The only exception is that when there is not enough real estate available on the right to display screen context menu, Windows displays the menu on the left hand side automatically.

  • Why my browser to Firefox v6.02 always open *.csv (separator: semicolon) file in another tab instead of downloading a file? I have no option to right click to save this file.

    My v6.02 browser Firefox always open *.csv (separator: semicolon) file in another tab instead of downloading a file? I have no option to right click to save this file. My PC is windows XP sp2.

    The CSV file is sent as text/plain. If you want to save the file then right-click and use them "save the link as" to save the file or hold the Alt key and left-click that should work on Windows.

  • Right click menu items of modules have changed

    For some reason, I'll only have this problem on my work computer, not at home, even though I know I am running the same version of Firefox and most of the same extensions (both computers running Windows 7, too). I have at least three different add-ons that include (or) elements of context menu - Pushbullet, Adblock Plus and open in current tab recently - and I don't know what changed to cause this - open in current tab disappeared altogether in the context menu, and Pushbullet and Adblock items moved to the top of the menu, above all that is supposed to be on top , as 'open in a new tab '. I can't find anything in the options of these modules is all relevant. Open in current tab doesn't seem to not even have options. I also installed menu editor, thinking I want to manually change the right-click menu options to the way they were, but none of these menu options Add on appears in the list of available options.

    No idea what could be wrong?

    HE may have updated in preparation for the e10s in versions every night.

    However, it is most likely your addons interaction with the other. Ones you mention have elements in the right click menu, so you can disable all the add ons but those, show the menus right click upward?

    Also check the malware:

  • Long left clicking displays the right click menu

    I want to turn this feature off, but can't remember which extension it controls or if the function is built into Firefox.

    Hooray! Found! Thank you Google.

    I found an old - very old - thread on Mozillazine.org:

    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38 & t = 340572

    And it IS a normal feature of Firefox, but it is normally OFF.

    I think I need to have recently turned it on after reading an article of "Tips and tricks of Firefox" somewhere.

    In any case, the preference is called 'ui.click_hold_context_menus '.

    And I just remembered that I added it in my preferences file "user.js", among a load of others:

    /*

    *   Disable the Delay When Installing New Extensions
*/

    user_pref ("security.dialog_enable_delay", 0);
    /*

    *   To turn off the URL greying
*/

    user_pref ("browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled", false);
    /*

    *   To unhide the "http" portion of a URL
*/

    user_pref ("browser.urlbar.trimURLs", false);
    /*

    *   Enable spell checker in multi-line text boxes & single-line text boxes
*/

    user_pref ("layout.spellcheckDefault", 2);
    /*

    user_pref ("ui. SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle «(, 4);
    /*

    user_pref ("browser.ctrlTab.previews", false);
    /*

    /*

    *   Middle-click in any textfield, addressbar or searchbox to paste clipboard
*/

    user_pref ("middlemouse.paste", true);

    So there's a lesson here: do not add too many settings to your preferences of Firefox at the same time or you may forget what you were doing!

    Thank you, all. I will now mark this as "resolved".

  • icon of the taskbar right-click menu 'task' gone

    When I right click on the taskbar icon, I used to get several options, including a section called tasks. However, for about two days, I now only get three options of Mozilla Firefox, remove this program from the taskbar and close the window. I don't know where the options to open a new tab, open a new window, etc. I did change all the parameters of topic: config and tried to reinstall firefox without success. If there is a possible fix, please help.

    Edit, I rechecked to the subject: config just now and found that browser.taskbar.lastgroupid keeps returning to the user being bold. I'm certain I have reset the first time, but I did it again for fun and at least for now I seem to have the right click menu rear complete with tasks and frequent.

  • I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site? "

    I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site?

    If you select that right click menu context then you block all images from this area and not a specific image, so do not use that.

    • Check exceptions in tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions (for example sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)

    You can use the following steps to check if the images are blocked:

    • Click on the "More information" button to open the "Page Info" with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
    • Go to the Media of the window tab "tools > Page Info.
    • Select the first link of the image and scroll down through the list with the arrow down.
    • If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

  • Context right click menu, in the MS apps does not work.

    When an application MS Office shortcut menu right click does not work; the material of Mouse & touchpad work. When this and other applications (especially when online) the menu pop-up Windows Live is automatically displayed when the cursor is over the menu options of the application (file, publishing, display, etc.).  ESC should be pressed to remove Windows Live menus so that the menu of the application are available.  I ran a Virus and SpyBot check, but nothing was detected.  Can you please help.

    Hello

    A defective Explorer shell extension in the right click menu seems to be the problem. It could also be linked to the third-party software.

    Follow the method 1 and method 2 to resolve this problem.

    Method 1:

    To check if the problem is caused by a third-party application, put your system at startup boot and see if right click works fine then.

    See this article for more details.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Method 2:

    To see if the Explorer shell extension is corrupted or not, open the registry editor and save the selected branch, remove managers of context menus one by one.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    Open the registry editor and save the branch selected, delete management context menus one by one.

    To access the Registry Editor:

    (a) go to start and type regedit.exe.

    (b) managers of context menus are located in

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\shellex\ contextmenuhandlers]

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\contextmenuhandlers]

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\contextmenuhandlers]

    (c) select 'Register' - 'Export register', so you can restore your changes later. Choose to export only the selected branch.

    (d) now remove a context menu Manager after another, and then every time try (Windows Explorer) if right click works again. In this way, you should find the faulty extension.

    (e) when you've found, you must double-click on the .reg created above to restore all shell extensions and then only delete the faulty extension.

    Also check the properties of sensitivity of touchpad and mouse under the controls of the mouse.
