My right click isn't working on my mouse in Firefox when I place it over an image on a web page to copy or save. However, it works when I use Explorer. What gives?

When I place my mouse over an image on the screen and right click the menu does not show up with the options to save, copy, print, etc. I have no problems with Explorer so I don't think its any issue with my mouse. What settings, if any, do I need to change in Firefox to get this to work??

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...

Does that happen with every image or only on specific websites?

If only on specific websites then please post a link then we can check it.
