Need to disable right click context menu

Hello,

I am going to computer certification school and as such I am taking numerous labsims that utilize the right click menu for the "sim computer" but when I right click the FireFox right click menu comes up on top of the "sim computer's" right click menu completely blocking it. Is there any way that I can disable the FireFox right click menu while I am working on my labsims? I prefer to use FF rather than Google Chrome for numerous reasons but do not have this problem in Chrome.

I have tried to "Google" (setting the search options to "this year") this question but only come up with an article dating back to like 2013 which is truly ancient and obsolete as the suggested work around instructions do NOT exist any more in 2020.


Sincerely,

Hi Amazon Princess Diana, please check this setting:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste context and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the dom.event.contextmenu.enabled preference is bolded and has a value of false, double-click it to restore the default value of true

Was that it?
