cannot not click on menu that appears when i right click my taskbar, as the right click menu dissapears when i move mouse over to the right click menu
PROBLEM: RIGHT CLICK CONTEXT MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN TRYING TO LEFT CLICK AN OPTION
Hi, Im using Windows 7, and i could always go down to my TaskBar and Right Click Icons, and active icons, which would bring up the standard Right Click Menu list.
PROBLEM As soon as i moved my Mouse away from the bottom Window 7 Task Bar to go a couple of millimeters above to left click an option on the Context Menu i opened with my right click, The whole Menu disappears, and this happens in Firefox version 29.01, other programs in Firefox, and other such as Skype. When i was running Firefox 28 i didn't have this problem, can you help me out. Thank You Kev Borg

PROBLEM RIGHT CLICK MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO LEFT CLICK A MENU OPTION ON THE RIGHT CLICKED MENU.
'YOU CAN'T BECAUSE AS YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO THE MENU YOU JUST RIGHT CLICKED TO OPEN DISAPPEARS BEFORE YOU GET A CHANCE TO LEFT CLICK YOUR CHOICE.'
SOLUTION 1] GO TO CONTROL PANEL AND CLICK TO VIEW MENU 2] GO TO "EASE OF ACCESS CENTRE" AT THE TOP. 3] LEFT CLICK ON MENU ITEM "EASE OF ACCESS CENTRE" 4] AFTER YOU LEFT CLICK ON "EASE OF ACCESS CENTER" IT APPEARS. 5] LOOK DOWN THE LIST TILL YOU FIND "MAKE THE MOUSE EASIER TO USE" 5] THE TOP SECTION SHOWS YOU HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MOUSE COLOURS ETC. 6] SCROLL DOWN TILL YOU SEE THIS HEADING "MAKE IT EASIER TO MANAGE WINDOWS" 7] RIGHT UNDER THAT MENU THERE IS CHECK BOX, "ACTIVATE A WINDOW BY HOVERING OVER IT WITH YOUR MOUSE"
8] MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A TICK IN THAT OPTION BOX, IF THERE IS UN TICK IT AND APPLY AND CLICK OK TO SAVE.
And now you should have No More Problems with your Right Click Menu disappearing when you move your mouse over to the menu to left click a menu item on that right clicked menu.
SOLUTION FIXES PROBLEM.
Thank You and i hope this answer my help any other people who have had this frustrating problem.

Two things to try,
- Right click, but then use the arrow keys.
- Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt Key> to bring up the tool bar. Then Tools > Options > Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't know what they are.
