    Allow Right-Click

    Filed under: firefox extensions — Eric @ 8:22 am

    Defeat web sites’ right-click prevention scripts. This is not 100% effective on all web sites, such as ones that may use a body OnLoad method, but it will make web surfing just a little more hassle-free.

    For maximum benefit, use Firefox’s Javascript context menu handling along with this extension. This will provide a more flexible way of allowing you to use your context menu. To enable it, go to Tools » Options » Web Features » Advanced » and uncheck "Disable or replace context menus".

    Install Allow Right-Click 0.3
    (Size: 15kb Release Date: October 30th 2005)

    Tested on Firebird 0.7, Firefox 0.8 – 1.5b1, Flock developer preview, Mozilla 1.6, 1.7b and Netscape 7.1.

      Just installed this and restarted the browser (Firefox 1.0). The extension seems patchy on what it chooses to disable. I can get this site: http://www.lemon-monkey.com/gallery/ to allow right click immediately after opening a page, and for only one click. After that, right click is disabled completely.

      You just reminded me to suggest using Firefox’s built-in behavior to help. I’ve added that to the original post.

      You’re right, there are still some sites that can annoy you with no-right-click scripts, but this extension will drastically cut-down on the amount that will work against you.

      i just went to that site and i was able to do right clicks without installing this extension. i still got a javascript box popping up and saying that it was copyrighted, buti was also able to right click and get the context menu.

      Check this out: A java Script to show a page and it doesn’t allow anything.

      Hi,

      Here’s a webpage that seems to have defeated your extension.

      http://www.weirdspace.dk/Alan%20Moore/Walter%20Joseph%20Kovacs.htm

      Either that, or the extension is broken with Firefox 1.0.3.

      I’ve tried it on every page mentioned, and it works for me. Remember to set Firefox’s native javascript handling as mentioned in the initial post.

      The Weather Underground web site has a feature that allows you to click/drag to create a rectangle and zoom in when viewing regional radar. It works very well in Firefox, but your extension causes it to stop working. Just wanted to give a heads-up.

      Thanks,
