I don't have the context menu either. Had v.35, uninstalled, installed v5. Like it but am wondering where the right-click context menu went. Help!

TIA,

Hmm, Odd. Have you dissabled the Context Menu options in the preferences?
If not, I suggest you uninstall the extension, restart firefox then install 0.5.
That should do it.

Did not disable the CM option. That would be stoopid.

Installed v.5 fine, works great, just no context menu.

Anything else we can check?

That is very very odd. What extensions do you have installed?
The context menu will only apear over selected text or mailto: addresses.
Are you not getting any CM at all, or just no WebMailCompose menu items?

I'm not sure why but when I left-click on email addresses with mailto: links.
Absolutely nothing happens and I have it set to use yahoo and such to do this.
But right-clicking and clicking WebComposeMail -> compose in yahoo works just fine.

I am seeing exactly what ieremiou is.

However I can HIGHLIGHT any text (incl a mailto) and it works great!

Hmm. Odd again. Have you tried uninstalling and then re-installing?
If you use TBP or Window-Q WebMailCOmpose needs to be installed AFTER one of those two.

Yep, that appears to have been the problem. Stupid thing too because I had to redo my profile (at least I backup my bookmarks, history, formdata, cookies, and signon stuff.) Neither extension wanted to fully uninstall itself (they just removed themselves from the Extension Manager Listing) and when I removed them from application data. They both screwed up FireFox.

EDIT: I was using WMC and Windows-Qd11pass10

Sounds like a corrupted Profile then. (?)
So the CM apears over highlighted text only? And left-clicking on mailto links work?
Thanks

Exactly!

I recently installed Service Pack 2, and now whenever i click a mailto: link, it opens up in Outlook Express instead of using Gmail in my browser. Any ideas on how to change this?

For an exact example, you'd have to install TBX and then try this:

I've mailed Shimoda about it too. Just thought I'd point that out now that I can provide an exact example, rather than a vague one.

Here is a "me, too" on that. I have TBE and WME installed, and I get the same results. For example, it I go to Google, the "Images", "Groups", and "News" links don't do anything if I click on them. I use Super Drag-N-Go and can drag them off to create a new tab or right-click and open in a new tab, but a left-click on them just exercises my clicking finger.

If I disable either of the two Extensions and restart FireFox (v0.9.2), the links work as expected. Since I installed WME last, I consider the problem started then. However, it is probably some interaction between the two in reality.

Thanks,

H.B.

It is a known conflict interaction between Webmail Compose (or Gmail Compose) and Tabbrowser Extensions. No known workaround at this time other than disabling one of the 2. A similar bug is found when using Gmail's address book but since disabling Webmail Compose does not help in that case it is likely TBE's fault. Using TBP and Webmail Compose at the same time does not generate any issues.

What is WME?
Yes, WebmailCompose does not currently work with TBE.
Supported tabbrowser extension are TBP and Window-Q.
I need to talk with Piro (TBE's author) and get this fixed... will see what I can do.
