Can't right click?

[Chrisz]

All of a sudden (it started last night) I don't seem to be able to 'right click' anything on the internet - not with either the mouse or the touchpad!!

Any ideas how to fix it (I'm using Firefox) as it's a PITA not being able to open various posts in different windows instead of reading them all one by one.

Cheers in advance

This only seems to happen on selective websites - eg. trying to copy image codes from photobucket as well as being intermittent - I now have a strage feeling it's something to do with the photobucket website - a moment ago the right click worked fine on this and a couple of other sites - I then tried it again on photobucket and it has stopped working again (includingon here)

OK, slight update - it seems to be a problem originating from Photobucket.

Everything works just as it should do but as soon as I visit photobucket to copy a pic I lose the ability to right click on any website. As soon as I close Firefox and re-open it things are back to normal.

Sounds like there is a script running on Photobucket which is disabling your right click, install the NoScript plugin and turn the Photobucket scripts off...

Cheers HJ, tried that - no joy

Try re-installing the mouse driver.

Don't know if this will help, but sometimes if right-click won't work, using the keyboard can do what you want. (Click in the image, ctrl-C, then ctrl-V to paste.)

Cheers mate - that seems to work ok

It also seems to stop the right click from disabling itself after I've attempted to copy and paste pic URLs etc.

Excellent. Ctrl-A is another one that sometimes comes in handy - 'Select all'.
