    Right click context menu not working in Firefox


    Hello,

    I have noticed in the latest version of Firefox 98.0.2 that the right click context menu only contains certain items others are greyed out..ie save video as,copy,save image.

    I went to alter a setting in About : config but this did not work...or is because owners of sites don't want you to download anything?

    Previous version of Firefox was ok...

    Right Click Context Menu options not working


    Thank you reply,

    Tried troubleshooting option...did not solve problem.So i did a complete uninstall of Firefox 98.0.2 and re-installed a fresh Firefox...still the same issue occurs.

    Totally puzzled...anyway submitted a feedback to Mozilla Support.

    Did a Google search some users are having similar issues.

    My OS Is Windows Pro with latest updates

    Do mean you fully removed your profile after uninstall? See: Remove user data and settings

    Uninstall Firefox from your computer | Firefox Help

    Then after a reboot check for leftovers here:

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

    Anyway test portable LibreWolf and see if you get the same issue. Current version is 98.0.2

    Releases . LibreWolf / Browser / Windows . GitLab

    More info:
    LibreWolf

    If that works but Firefox does not then it suggests that you didn't fully uninstall it before clean installing a new version.

    And... can you give us an example? Picture of context menu and the address (site) where it doesn't work.
