Firefox 8.0.1 - right click of the mouse does not work and the menus at the top are not working. They sparkle and sometimes remain visible, but most of the time they cannot be seen.

When I right click of the mouse on a link of the menu sparkles and especially is not visible. When I select the top menu bar, the menu selections twinkle and especially are not visible. It makes the browser unusable. This is a serious bug.

    Take a look at your installed extensions, there are a number of extensions "Community Toolbar" which can result in Firefox 30, too.

    If you cannot identify the cause...

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    and this problem as my problem: http://superuser.com/questions/69193/choose-default-program-does-not-work-is-broken-on-windows

    Thank you!

    Problem solved by a person post in the Forums of Vista, that what he said in this thread (Thread link: http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/202928-open-choose-default-program-error-vista-2.html#post939031 ):

    "PROBLEM SOLVED!"
    HOO HOO!

    I want to thank you once again BRINK for ideas on how to solve this problem.
    The next step below, this is how I solved this annoying problem:

    First of all, I came across this article on the Microsoft Web site by changing my google search to solve the problem. I started the google search with the following:

    'open with' lack of context menu

    Who brought results with the first being a microsoft link:

    Command 'Open with' missing from the context Menu

    Now the article didn't tell me exactly how to solve this problem, but it gave me an idea.
    He said look at the following reg key:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command

    And he said to watch the following default value:

    C:\%windir%\rundll32.exe shell32.dll, OpenAs_RunDLL %1

    After that, I noticed that the value was different, but then I noticed in watching the article says that this applies to Windows 95 and 98.
    I then looked at the same key on my laptop that is running Vista Ultimate 32 bit also and I noticed there are subfolders on my laptop that my office did not have.
    It should look like the following:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown
    \DefaultIcon
    \+Shell
    \+openas
    \COMMAND
    \+opendlg
    \COMMAND

    My office was only the DefaultIcon folder.
    Well I just copied the key from my laptop and voila... it worked.
    I thank the gods of the computer. This has really been bugging me. I know that some people would have just reconfigured or installed a new but I knew it was an easy fix. I thought it was a reg key or windows dll file, but I just need to find the location where he resided in. Luckily I came across this article which pointed me in the right direction. Now I feel like I accomplished something.

    Sorry if this is a bit long but I HATE it when I'm looking for answers in the forums and I see someone say they have solved their problem, but they either don't say anything about how they fixed or that they are so vague that they could didn't say anything.
    I hope this helps others if they have this problem.

    Thank you once again on BOARD! "

    That's all!

  • Sometimes the left click of my mouse does not work, and it happens in Firefox.

    Some links should be opened with a middle-click in a new tab for me to see them, instead of just left-clicking to advance the page. It only occurs in Firefox, not in other programs or Windows itself.

    Firefox 3.6.13

    If you notice this problem on all specific websites? It always occurs after disabling Firefox Add-ons you have installed?

  • Mouse does not work after the upgrade to Windows 7.

    I recently installed Windows 7. All right, except that my mouse does not work. I tried several types: series, USB, PS/2 and wireless. I even bought a Microsoft Mouse, but while the keyboard is very well the mouse still won't play.

    Hi Jollydiver,

    Thanks for posting. You will need to contact HP to see if there is a driver available for Windows 7 chipset.

  • That is why when I right click on the Firefox icon I get a purple flag with "new private window? No there is no way to remove this item?

    I'm a prisoner of the "new private window? Is it OK if I don't want that? God is going to punish me? It certainly looks that way.

    I got Win 10 for 4 months and until yesterday, 11/10, I didn't even know about the 'new private window' and the flag purple now appears when I right-click on the Firefox icon. Someone tried to help her by suggesting new privacy settings. So I lost most of my desktop shortcuts but not the private window! I'll be back most of the shortcuts, but I'm still stuck with the purple flag company. I have a background of tech and only for this reason that I try to keep things simple. It is vital that, how did you before? Any help or clarification will be appreciated. Thanks for listening.

    The image used for the incognito in the task bar was changed to Firefox 42. Previously, the image was not colored purple, more as a lighter blue color.

  • On two pc's, 1 Wired kb & maus, 1 wireless, they had to keep - right click on the page - to keep the text page & scroll operation. Difficulty?

    Have two Dell optiplex home computers. The two same operating system windows 7. Use a wired keyboard and mouse and the other wireless.
    On Web pages only using the same browser firefox on both pc, keyboard entry text constantly updated in a dialog box like this one and to use the scrolling of the mouse or the keyboard, the mouse has to right click on the page to reactivate the scrolling or entering text.
    This most often happens on web pages than others, and the problem is the same on both PCs. Used to access the internet wireless modem.

    The result is very encouraging to do exactly what is suggested.

    I've had the mode without failure for an hour now and there is no re-emergence of the issue of page web text of scrolling/entry so far. I'm now working my way through the process of elimination and will do the same for the other pc and report today come back later.

  • When I'm on my Web site home page, if I right click on the icon of firefox on the dock (iMac) it shows "Mozilla Firefox" instead of the name of my site.

    So, if I'm on another site, for example newsnow.co.uk, if I right click on the Firefox icon in the dock, it shows "newsnow.co.uk" as one of the pages opened in Firefox.

    But for my site, it just shows, "Mozilla Firefox". However, if I do the same with Safari, the page is referred to as the full name of my site.

    Why Firefox isn't doing the same thing? My apologies if this is a silly question: I am a bit stuck!

    Best wishes

    James.

    I'm sure that you can easily add a < title > for that and your other pages, and it will improve the way they appear in the results of search engines as well. In the absence of a title, for example, Google will just improvise something on the structure and the prevalence of the words on the page, which is not always what you want visitors to see on the results page.

  • Since the installation of 4.0.1 I can't do a right-click on the icon in my taskbar and have Firefox give me the option "close and save" tabs. Only let's me know, I'm about to close several tabs. How to make 'save &amp; close' return?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar of my computer and press on the window. He would then give me the option to "save the tabs and exit" or "close all tabs".
    Now he comes and tells me I'm going to close several tabs.

    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all the tabs in place. There is nothing more annoying than to have several tabs lost because your computer has is an update of the day overnight and restarted. It is also useful when you want to run a tun - up or cleaner who asked that closing your browser for best results.

    How to make 'save and exit' return?

    Thank you

    Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."

    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
    4. Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning

    If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:

    1. Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
    2. Go to the general Panel
    3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
  • Since the upgrade to 3.6.13, I can more open tabs using the extension, by right-clicking on the page and then not always. I had to go to Chrome that I can't get firefox to work.

    Firefox worked fine. I used it for years. When I finished the recent update 3.6.13, the new tab button/extension bit + box work quitting smoking. I can click on and nothing happens. I right click, get the drop down menu but nothing works. I can't open a blank tab or windwo as when I want to go somewhere again without closing windows I opened. The only way I can access a new tab is if I go to my favorites and open one then use this screen to go where I wanted to go. I had to switch to Google Chrome to perform tasks, line I need do it online, but it doesn't let me do a lot of what I want.

    The Ask toolbar is initially in the version of Firefox 3.6.13. Obviously something in this extension is not compatible with a Firefox security patch. Disable this extension or uninstall it.

    BuggyG,
    I saw that error and even if it says access denied it will actually save your changes.  After you disable all move forward and apply then restart and see if it kept the changes.  If it's not then I hope that you are able to borrow a disc it would in time look for resettlement.
