Right click not always working in 55.0.3
Since upgrading ive found that when i use right click, the menu doesnt always appear. This happens on images, text, links etc. Sometimes it appears straight away, sometimes there is a second delay, and sometimes there is the box but with no menu options to click on
You can see it here - https://postimg.org/image/oltx2riyd/
I have noscripts running but ive disabled that and it still happens. Other than that i have the Flash plugin and just the default Firefox ones active

Too add this also happens when i click on the download icon, aswell as the drop down box for noscripts, so its not just a right click thing

Re: Right click not always working in 55.0.3
Disable Hardware Acceleration (in FF) & see if that changes anything.

That appears to have worked, cheers.
Any idea why disabling Hardware Acceleration would fix that, and any downside to disabling it?

I have the same problem. Disabling the acceleration made my problem worse.

Re: Right click not always working in 55.0.3
I have had this same problem a few times now since upgrading a few days ago. The problem seems to either occur or not at the time I start Firefox. Once started the problem is either there or it's not, but if it starts up fine it continues to work fine. When the problem occurs I simply have to kill Firefox through Task Manager (can't access menus to shut down) and restart. It has always worked for upon restart after seeing the problem, but it has only been a few days. I have made no other changes to my Firefox since upgrading. This never happened with previous versions. I think this has only happened after a restart and upon the first start of Firefox, but does not always happen after restart.

Re: Right click not always working in 55.0.3
Same problem here, has been there for a few months I think. From time to time (maybe 1 in every 3 or 4 times I open FF), my Firefox won't let me use my mouse's right button, nor open any drop-down menus (in FF's UI or in the webpage space). If I restart FF, then the problem disappears (no need to reopen in safe mode). I have no idea what can be the cause of it, it seems to happen on a random basis.ArJunaZ wrote:I have had this same problem a few times now since upgrading a few days ago.

(I'll just note that a web page is able to disallow right-click. [Which can be worked around via bookmarklet or otherwise.])

Re: Right click not always working in 55.0.3
Well noted, but that's not the case here. It's a problem with FFox that (at least in my case) affects not only the right click, but also the opening of FF's menus (the three lines menu, bookmarks, whatever...) and of any drop-down list within a webpage. Weird thing.therube wrote:(I'll just note that a web page is able to disallow right-click. [Which can be worked around via bookmarklet or otherwise.])

Re: Right click not always working in 55.0.3
Hey guys, I've made a change that has seemingly solved this problem. I used to have FFox enabled in Windows Task Manager's Start list, so that it was automatically opened whenever I start Windows. Well, I disabled FFox from that list a couple of weeks ago (I open it manually now) and I haven't experienced the above issue ever since.
