How to Disable "No Right Click" Scripts in Firefox

Last Updated: June 3, 2021 Tested

Have you ever gone to a website where you try to right-click and it doesn't work? If you still want to right-click, your browser can display the context menu but the website just tells it not to. No matter––there is good news! If you use Mozilla Firefox, you can tell your browser not to obey the website and display it anyway.

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Disabling "No Right Click" Temporarily

1
Press the Shift key while performing the right-click. The context menu will open even if the site would normally block it.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:

Disabling "No Right Click" Permanently, Using Newer Versions of Firefox

1
Open the Configuration page. This option is no longer available in the Options menu. Instead, you will need to open the Firefox Configuration page. In address bar, type about:config and press ↵ Enter. You will need to confirm that you understand that changing settings could result in Firefox not working properly.
2
Find the control. Type context into the Search bar. Find preference name listed as "dom.event.contextmenu.enabled" and double-click to toggle it to "false".
3
Try right-clicking on a site that you couldn't before. You may still receive a message about right-clicking not being allowed, but the right-click menu should appear after you close the message.

Method 3

Method 3 of 3:

Disabling "No Right Click" Permanently, Using Firefox 2 or Earlier

1
Click on the Tools menu.
2
Click Options in the menu.
3
Click on Content (at the top of the window that appears).
4
Click the "Advanced" button on the "Enable JavaScript" line.
5
In the new window that appears, uncheck "Disable or replace context menus".
6
Search Google for "no right click script" to test this.

Warnings

Some web apps use context menus and rely on scripts like this to not have the browser context menu appear and have theirs appear instead. In this case, you will probably want to recheck the box.
