How To Deactivate Context Menu?

more options

When I click shift and right click always a context menu comes up and I would like to deactivate that. Concrete: I would like to draw arrows on a chessboard (lichess.org) with shift and rightclick, but then always a context menu comes up and distracts. This is very annoying and I would like to change that - though what I found so far wasn't that helpful for me.

Thank you very much in advance

hello max,

Yeah, that menu pop up is kind of annoying for this particular chess game site.

btw, it looks like fun ! I havent played chess in maybe 30 years or so.

In any case, i was able to make arrows without the menu popping up by setting the 4th & 5th mouse settings to false. Just double click to toggle.

See attached pic and invoke the commands shown on it.

Thank you, though in about:config I can't find this mousebutton.4th or 5th. Not when searching for 'mouse' and nothing comes up when searching for 'mousebutton'. Do these commands have different names on a Macbook? Or what should I try?

Oh i'm sorry max.

I provided a possible solution for FireFox for Windows.

I dont know anything about FireFox for the mc apple.

Thank you for showing that there likely is a way. If anyone knows how that works on mac, please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.
