Disabling Context Menu In Firefox

Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 10:19 am

Passing this along for those Firefox users that may have experienced an annoying anomaly when using the editor in Firefox.

Problem: When using the editor, right-clicking to bring up the editor context menu also brings up the Firefox context menu that hides the editor context menu

Solution:

Enter about:config in the URL address window

In the filter window type or copy paste:

dom.event.contextmenu.enabled

Dbl-click the entry to change it from "false" to "true".

Right-clicking in the editor will now bring up the editor menu only. Right-clicking in any other web site/page will behave normally.

You're welcome. Note that when you upgrade to a new upgrade of FF you may have to run the fix again. I noted this when I upgraded to FF 9.0.1 this morning.

Cheers
