None of the suggested solutions work for the new yahoo mail. They have disabled right click so that I can not open mail in another tab on FireFox

It's more interesting to allow right click at any site altering fire fox config.

about:config
find: contextmenu

double click on it, it's done.

If you find that nothing happens when you right-clickhold down the Ctrl key while you click on a webpage, it is a known issue caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar for Firefox.

Yahoo!® has been contacted about this issue.

For now, disabling the Yahoo Toolbar add-on will prevent this issue.

1. At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Tools menu then select Add-ons, to open the Add-ons window.
2. Select the Extensions panel.
3. In the list of extensions, select the Yahoo! Toolbar, and click Disable.

What is YOUR suggestion concerning the protection of a web author's intellectual property if disabling right click "isn't cool"?

As the developer of multiple Social Networking Websites, I utilize a right click disable for 2 reasons, 1 is as you stated, to keep people from stealing work. But that is really become a useless means as more and more hackers find ways around it. The 2nd reason was to protect the media of my members that others choose to steal and create fake profiles with it.

With the development of browsers such as Firefox and their add on tools, the issue has less to do with people stealing code now as it does to detering the average person from stealing the photos/video/audio files that belong to the members and sites.

As far as claiming that locking down a site is not cool, it's also not cool to spend months developing a site option to have someone else come in and take it without paying for it. Would you go into a store and just take a watch without paying? I think not but that is all to often what people seem to think they can do on the internet.

Thanks for the tips you guys are using though to bypass the right click disable and help us circumvent it. Now, where did I put that little .htaccess file?

Fact is, of course, the content is usually automatically copied. All you have to do is rummage through the cache.

This is awesome, thanks.

I added the javascript as a bookmark, so I can just click the bookmark and have my right click back.

Hi, i stumbled upon this site yesterday and I couldn't but sharing my experience.

There is this site that provide free wallpaper [NOT PORN !!] download for registered user. After registered, I start browsing for wallpaper (browsing for wallpaper only meant for registered user). When i clicked at the wallpaper image, a new window open with full size wallpaper preview. Then, as usual I right click to save the image. To my suprise, the window immediately closed. Now, I'm pissed.

So i tried this java trick and i got like "user being banned permanently and my IP address displayed". Okay now I'm really really pissed.

Then I remember that i had this good FIREFOX extension called "SCRAPBOOK" that used to capture a webpage. Yes, It worked. The preview window was captured and I re-open the captured page to save the wallpaper. i should call it Superfox since it always saves me when i'm in some trouble.

I wonder why they would do such thing if they wan to provide free wallpapers. I can accept the register thing but not being able to download wallpaper is way out of line. If they don't want to share their precious wallpaper then don't say its FREE or don't even bother uploading those images.

Another way websites try to prevent right click is by placing a transparent .gif directly over an image, so that when you right click and hit save, it saves a blank file. this can be averted by ad-blocking the offending .gif and refreshing the page.

Sweet!
I tried: "javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)" now I can right click! This is cool! Thanks!
However, I am still not able to copy any text in the webpage!
