Long left clicking displays the right click menu

When I press and hold the left mouse button, the right-click menu is displayed.
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);
/*

*   Double underline style
*/

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

*   Cycle through open tabs with Ctrl+Tab
*/

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

*   Disable Animations for Full Screen
*/

user_pref ("browser.fullscreen.animateUp", 0);
/*

*   Click and hold on a hyperlink to show the context menu
*/

user_pref ("ui.click_hold_context_menus", true);
/*

*   Instant Apply Preferences Without Closing Options Window
*/

user_pref ("browser.preferences.instantApply", true);
/*

*   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".

    You can install the following add-on to return some of the old features of the status bar. The module Bar must be turned on. The add-on will also stop the screening of the "tooltip" text of loading type State, and instead of it, show it in the bar of the add-on:

  • How to create a table with no lines to the left or to the right?

    If I create a table with say 5 columns and 15 lines, how not to do a vertical line (border) to the left and to the right of the table while keeping the boundary up and down? Is that possible or I just put a white box on the left and the right?

    IDCS3

    There are a few methods that work. Here is one.

    (1) select your table cells

    (2) open the race Panel

    3) click the blue lines of the proxy image in the Panel of stoke to deselect the lines inside and high and low lines

    (4) 0 the value of the weight of the race (or change the color of the None swatch)

    Oh and for the love of your fellow designers or the person that allows you to edit your work in the future... do NOT use a white box to hide the traits of lines and columns in the table.

  • With windows 7, any display (Start button, label of the file on the toolbar) moved off the screen to the left and to the right there is a black margin. How to fix?

  • How is defined if the subfolder bookmarks open to the left or to the right.

    Until recently by clicking on bookmarks in the upper part opens a menu drop-down and click on one of the favorite folders in this menu they would open to the right of the drop-down list to display the content. Suddenly, they started opening to the left and I want to know how to configure to open again to the right.

    I customized the toolbar so I can use the icon for favorites like the first suggested. Works fine for me now. I had not used before I found the site more to the right less convenient. I also checked for bookmark names too long - turns out I had one in the bookmarks sorted at the bottom of the list. Shortening it makes the bookmark folders open to the right. Thanks for the help!

  • Arising from the separate articles on left respectively to the right of the page spread

    I imported a Word document into a double page.

    I use Indesign CC version 2015:2

    I need to disconnect the text placed between each chapter (Chapter 16). IE, create separate articles for each chapter. Then I need to have some chapters run down on the left side and some chapters run down on the right side. Also a few chapters normal running. Unused pages will be used for illustrations etc.

    First I couldn't disconnect all connections to text. I was able to cut the text of a chapter and paste it into a vertical line of pages on the left side and then reconnect the blocks of text to another. As soon as I do the same thing, with a new chapter on the empty pages on the right, the pages on the left side starts have rearranged. Very frustrating since my work is totally disorganized. I don't want any automation here. I have disabled menu pages allow pages and frames for move, but for some reason, they seem to have activated by an unknown magic...

    How can I make sure that my pages don't get rearranged. It's so frustrating.

    Another feature I couldn't find was a way to disconnect all the other text blocks without hiding the text. Figured that would keep the automated working connections. According to an article published on the web, I could go to connections of text/text (translated) text/Textkopplingar (Swedish). This menu item is not found. Where at - it go? See the version information in the upper part.

    Hope I could make myself clear. My version is Swedish, and I'm not sure what all the menu commands are called in English. Connection text is Textkoppling for example. It is when you click on the handful of output of a frame and then click the handle and on the next page to receive the superimposed text.

    Thanks for anyone taking their time to read this.

  • Firefox 5 displays the right fonts only in Mode safe!

    After upgrading to Firefox 5, I noticed it displays the wrong fonts (larger than they should - they look ok in Firefox 4.x, Chrome, Opera).

    The strange thing is that if I run Firefox 5 Mode without failure, it displays it correctly. I have disabled all addons, I cleaned all Cache, configuration of the size of minimum font... even reinstalled. It is allowed only in Mode safe looking.

    What else to do?

    Safe mode disables extensions in Firefox 4, and disables hardware acceleration.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

    Try to turn some of the prefs Boolean gfx.font_rendering on the topic: configuration page to disable some features.

    Filter: gfx

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

    You can use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a pref.

  • Since the upgrade to the latest version, there is no arrow to the left and to the right of the tabs, so I can't scroll through them. How can I fix?

    In previous versions, there are arrows left and right tabs, allowing me to scroll down to find the tab I want. In the latest version, they seem to have disappeared. How to make a comeback?

    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.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on 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.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    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.
