Thread: Enable Disabled Right Click on websites in Firefox

If you've spent any amount of time online, you've already run into a website that uses javascript to disable the right-click menu on the page… which can be really, really irritating for those of us that like to use the "back" feature on the context menu.

Why do they do this? Usually it's a misguided attempt to keep people from viewing the source of their pages or stealing their images, but all they really do is end up annoying their readers into never coming back. Ever.

Disabling Annoying Context Menu Javascript Nonsense

Open up the Tools \ Options panel, and then go to the Content "tab" on the top. You'll see three buttons on the right-hand side, choose the one that says "Advanced".



From this dialog you can uncheck the option for "Disable or replace context menus". Note: If you also want to prevent websites from resizing your browser window, you can uncheck "Move or resize existing windows" while you are at it.



And now your context menu will work perfectly fine on the page.

It should be noted that disabling this setting will prevent customized context menus from working on sites like Google Docs… so it's a toss-up on which
feature you like more.

For IE (Source google)
If you use Internet Explorer 6 and 7

1.
Click “Tools”->”Internet Options”
2.
Click the “Security” tab.
3.
Click “Custom Level”
4.
Scroll down to the “scripting” section.
5.
Set “Active Scripting” to “disable” (Active scripts are programs written in Javascript)
6.
Click “Ok”. Restart your internet browser.

Note: This will disable the Javascript from being rendered by your Internet Explorer browser which would mean the right click disabled’s script in the website will not work anymore.

PS : I am not sure abt the IE method.....coz i never really tried it......found it by goggling......try on ur own.

I have seen similar methods for opera
