Right click not working in Firefox 3.5
For those of you who have installed (updated to) the new Firefox 3.5 and have problems with using the right click (the contextual menu not showing up) the solution to fix this is to get rid of the Yahoo Toolbar.
From my brief experience with it on Windows (Firefox 3.5 is not available yet in the Ubuntu repositories for an automatic update) it seems to have a better load time for web pages, especially for those involving lots of JavaScript.
For a list of improvements and new features (including the new HTML 5 standard) you can go here.
UPDATE: As 570n3r said in his comment, AdBlock+ has the same effect. Disable it too.

[...] started to poke around the web, till I came across a possible solution after reading Right click not working in Firefox 3.5. According to this post, !Yahoo Toolbar is causing this issue because Firefox 3.5 is not available [...]
Still can’t right click, anything else that could be the problem? Thanks for any help.
Hi, Numo! It might be another plug-in that interferes with the contextual menu. Try deactivating all the plug-ins and then activating them one by one, testing the right click. Or, if you exactly what plug-in tries to add its menu entries to the contextual one, deactivate it and test.
Good luck!
Who knows how you figured this out, Radu, but that was precisely the solution! Thanks for the help. Long live the RIGHT CLICK!!!
