Hi all.

is it possible to disable all drop-down menus while browsing web? The menu-option could then be activated by click on the menu-option.

I don't know about yous, but it drives me nuts moving my mouse around and it randomly opening distracting menus, if I'm working fast I end up clicking one of the options in them instead of clicking the option behind it.


Cheers for any tips on add-ons or settings.

Not that I know of. There can be two ways to create such menus. That can be done via CSS and via JavaScript. CSS pop-ups could possibly be blocked by overriding CSS rules with an important flag (!important), but enabling and disabling such a block isn't easy as you would need to check the page code to see how it works. Blocking specific JavaScript is even more difficult without effecting how the page works. Best would to contact such websites to tell them how you feel about such automatic features. This forum has them as well for the bar at the top of this page.
