Inside the browser, right click on the mouse seems to be disabled. How can I enable the right click button? It works fine on toolbars and tab bar but not inside tabs or windows. I would like to be able to copy and paste and such. Thank you
Right mouse button does not open any menu when clicked inside of tabs or windows. Works properly on the toolbars, in the address line, search bar...etc. but has no action on the page I'm browsing. I purchased a mouse recently and like the old one, the right button works in all other areas of my operating system. I would like to know if there is a setting in firefox that I can change to correct this.

There may be an add-on that is interfering with the right-click menu. Try running Firefox in Firefox safe mode, this will disable extensions and themes and can be used to see if they are causing a problem. If it works in safe mode, follow the procedure in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to identify the culprit.
There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
See Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
[ ] "Disable or replace context menus"
