Title: Right click menu on mouse
Post by: mtnman on October 27, 2009, 02:33:06 PM

My right-click menu (for copy, paste, etc) on my optical mouse suddenly quit working, at least for internet related work (tried to post films today on the Forum).

Any idea why?  How to fix?

It still works normally in My Documents, etc.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox, not IE.

My guess is that it might be due to a recently added Firefox extension (plug in). Yahoo toolbar and AVG safe search extensions are listed as two possible causes.
You could disable the installed extensions or start Firefox in safe mode and see if that does the trick.

Did a quick google search and came up with these two references.
