After opening the context menu (right click) it left click automatically.. and sometimes it don't
Hello,
I'm using Firefox on a Macbook Pro Mid 2015 and I have this silly problem, most of the times, whatever the website (youtube, reddit, google ect) when i right click (wether it is with the touchpad or and usb mouse) on a url, a text ect. to use the context menu with, it click on the option my mouse is right away... And I don't know why like 1 times out of 30 it dont, I don't have this problem at all in Google chrome and also I found out that if I hold the right click I can move to chose the option that is going to be clicked right after releasing it... but it's still silly to do this when also I don't have to do it sometimes ( And this isn't any of my modules because I tried to disable all of them, still the same problem)
Thanks in advance !

When you right-click something in Firefox, the menu should open and wait for you to choose something. Are you pressing the left button without knowing it? Pressing the enter?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Thanks for the answer, that's the problem, the menu does not wait for me to choose. I tried with an usb mouse and in Safe Mode without extensions, and still have the same issue... I don't have this problem in the mac UI or with other browsers.
Let’s do a full clean re-install; Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Do Not remove the profiles folder.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox program folders by adding .old to them. Do not rename the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

It is really strange, I tried all this and I still have the same problem, even when my computer is in safe mode..
Are you using a mouse pad? Disable it.
I only use the integrated trackpad, I tried to disable it and use only my usb mouse, the problem still there !
