If you're using Tab Mix Plus, there might be a conflict. I remember having to muck around after some upgrade to get it working again, having to install a beta version or something.

You peeps who have upgraded; can we still hide the File menu bar?

The Dark One posted:

I like Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab for that.

There's also Ctrl-Shift-T to reopen a tab you'd closed and Ctrl-Shift-N to re-open a window you'd closed.

Those are different. PgDown just goes down your list of tabs, whereas Ctrl+Tab cycles tabs in most recent order. Both are useful, although Ctrl+Tab is the most kickass (and sorely lacking from Chrome, for example).

This is odd. I just updated to Aurora 30 (Windows 64) and video playback seems to be dead. On Youtube, I get a flash of the staticky error screen, then blackness, and on the BBC news site I get the teaser still for a moment before it puts up its own error screen.

Flash is up to date and I've restarted Aurora a couple of times. Doesn't seem to be a network issue: IE and my housemate's installation of Firefox are running properly.

Anyone else with similar issues?

Edit: Aaaand problem's with the Youtube Center addon. Damnation.

Aurora 30 is broken for me right now on Windows 8.1 x64. Broke two days ago - I can launch the program directly from the .exe file, but no shortcuts work. Gives me "The class is not registered" error. Firefox Beta 29 works fine so that'll do for now.

On the windows version of australis is it supposed to have this weird gray muddying with the system window color in the tab bar? It seems to be a part of the default persona, goes away when I switch to a different one, but I'd prefer to keep the default. I don't know why but it's particularly distracting and ugly to me.

Yes; it's there to help make the unselected tabs' text have more contrast. You could probably get rid of it via userChrome if you really cared...

Is it possible to disable the ability for websites to modify the browser right-click context menu?

It is pretty much ingrained into my brain as a solid habit that right-click -> select top option "goes back" and it's how I navigate. Which is normally fine because that's the default behaviour:

But apparently sites can modify this behaviour. Possibly via a non-standard Mozilla API, I haven't bothered to check. So if I go to MDN for example (which I've been using a hell of a lot lately) I get this:

I click "Edit Page" every single loving time without fail. Please let there be a way to block this.

The Menu Editor addon should help. You can disable and reorder rightclick menu items. I'm not on strictly the last version of Firefox, so see if it works for you.

It seems the Firefox addon site is broken at the moment. 404 when trying to install that addon. I will try it later though, but I'm not sure if it will help. It appears to be geared towards rearranging or removing menu items, particularly those added via addons.

Since the MDN and other sites probably add the entries via client javascript, I doubt it would work. I was hoping there would be an option hidden somewhere so I can turn the functionality completely off globally. Whatever feature it is, it's Firefox only since I can go to MDN in Chromium and it doesn't modify the context menu.

Sorry, I misread your post. I'd swear I saw "apparently addons can change this behaviour" instead of sites

It's probably not going to help then.

Maybe you can block something with noscript? I'm not seeing the added items on the page you linked, but that's probably because I'm not logged in there or something.

I'm not logged in either, I don't have an account. I'm using Firefox 28 if that matters.

Does it really not change the menu when going to a wiki page or anything on MDN? Perhaps Firebug (developer tools) adds it in or something? I'll have to investigate. e: Nope, not Firebug.

If I disable Menu Editor, they show up. Although I don't see them in the regular list of items I can enable or disable.

It must be that the addon sorta disables the rightclick menu entirely and then offers you its own version or something like that, maybe.

Youtube has/had a thing that would load the next video using a nifty javascript loader, so the next video would load without refreshing the page. Recently it has stopped working, it looks like as of Firefox 28 on Win 8.1. Happens with Safe Mode too. Not sure with Aurora/Australis and/or Linux, which I have at home. Did Mozilla break something, or is this just Google going, "gently caress you, Chrome is the only browser, use Chrome"? Of course, it still works in Chrome.

Also, Youtube always seems to use Flash now, unless it's explicitly disabled, even though I have requested HTML5 if available and and have support for the codecs, as it plays fine if Flash is disabled. Again, works correctly in Chrome. This does happen with Australis on Linux.

Goddamn the internet.

Edit: looks like it's Google's fault. Happens on Win 7 too, and I tested it also on Win 8.1 with Aurora, 28, and 27.

Scroogled again.

Thanks for the tip, but if I could remember to do that on MDN I would remember that back isn't the first option. :v:

I searched around and apparently this used to be within the Advanced Javascript options until they decided to remove all those options. The option can still be accessed via about :config as dom.event.contextmenu.enabled. Set it to false to disable the ability for sites to mess with the context menu. I tried it on other sites and it works, which is fine. Except the fact that the Mozilla Developer Network appears to either ignore and override that option or modify the context menu a different way. Mozilla, why do you hate me. :sigh:

These menus are part of the HTML5 Specification. It seems only Firefox supports them at the moment, and there's no preference (yet?) to disable them.

You could write a greasemonkey script that would remove the contextmenu attribute from every element on a page, though the JavaScript on the page could always mess with this I suppose. Personally I would buy a mouse with a back button.

Edit: ^^^ The dom.event.contextmenu.enabled preference doesn't apply to these menu items.

Edit 2: I wrote a greasemonkey script for MDN. Really simple in this case since it's one menu attached to the body tag.

code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Disable MDN Menus
// @description Disables added context menu items from MDN
// @include     http://developer.mozilla.org/*
// @include     https://developer.mozilla.org/*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
document.body.removeAttribute("contextmenu") 
}());

It wont restore menu items you've changed with Menu Editor, it'll just remove the ones a site has added.

I used to use Menu Editor, but it had a tendency to screw things up. Now I use a custom userstyle to hide menu items I never use (including back).

Ha, I use this fat "ergonomic" mouse and it actually has one. But like I said, I'm already "trained" to use that context menu item. I'll try to make using the button a habit instead.

Sorted. You're seriously loving awesome for posting about the html5 element. If anyone cares as much as I did, I quickly bashed out a Greasemonkey script to remove the menu items. If anyone needs to do this in the future, don't remove the individual contextmenu html elements. It will remove them and leave an empty context menu group that looks gross. Instead get the parent "menu" element and just remove that. You can see what I did if you look at the 3 line source code :v:
