After I installed the Firefox 7, when browsing sites like yahoo, facebook or twitter, the right click is not working. I would like open a link on another tab but the contextual menu is not showing up. As per previous versions like 3.? that had the same issue, removing yahoo toolbar did fixed the problem. However in this case, I don't use yahoo toolbar.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)

  • You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.

If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

safe mode did the trick for me.
