[PSA] Firefox has this built in already: Hold Shift while right-clicking. Been a while since I tested on a fresh profile, but I don’t believe this requires any

  that's a great thing to know! thanks. I wish there was a setting for "right click works, hold shift key for wanky behavior"

  This is still default behavior

  There's a about:config setting called dom.event.contextmenu.enabled defaulting to true, when you change to false you don't need to hold shift, it will always open the browser context menu (and in most cases still do the page behavior of showing the web app context menu or whatever, you can then press esc to close the browser's menu but it may also close the page menu depending on how they implemented it). Then there's a second option called dom.event.contextmenu.shift_suppresses_event which defaults to true and does what you said: Simple right click opens the page menu and shift + right click don't send the page the event at all and instead opens the browser's menu.

  Thanks for the PSA! I have relied on the "Allow Right-Click" extension for a while now. https://webextension.org/listing/allow-right-click.html https://webextension.org/listing/allow-right-click.html https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/re-enable-right-click/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/re-enable-rig...

  Is there something similar for ctrl+f?

    Or to force pasting in text boxes?

  I'd like to see this feature in all browsers.
