Firefox 2.0 – hold-clicking no longer brings up the context menu on Mac OS
Here’s the solution to bring back the hold-clicking action (click and hold to bring up the context menu) now disabled by default on Firefox 2.0 (it was enabled by default on previous versions):
- On the location (address) box, type about:config (this will bring up a list of all configurable settings)
- On the filter box, type click_hold – this will single out the ui.click_hold_context_menus setting, which has false under the value column
- Double click the ui.click_hold_context_menus line to turn false into true
- Close and restart Firefox, click holding will now bring up context menus
Just the thing I wanted. Thanks!
