After Firefox 32.0.1 update, right-clicking stops working. It even affected this feature in Windows in general. I've tried starting Firefox in safe-mode but it didn't help. At some point refreshing a certain tab helped, but now it doesn't do anything either.

Hi cooper, This is strange, does the functionality work if you call an add on to it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../righttoclick/

The instructions for enabling javascript are not up to date in this article, but the instructions on how to enable right click on sites that are preventing it are also here: http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-%22No-Right-Click%22-Scripts...

If there is an issue with other programs as well, try a clean reinstall, but make a copy of the date in the Profile folder to make sure your data is preserved.

Start your Computer in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;

If running, turn your computer off. Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports. Now start your computer but also;

Windows; Press the <F8> key repeatedly. Mac: Hold down the Shift key. Linux; Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded. For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and Mac safe modes.

When the Boot menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing. You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;

  • Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
  • Safe Mode With Networking; Same as above, but with internet access.
