Right Click in Firefox
Background/Problem
After installing Arch Linux [1] and Qtile [2] on my laptop, I had a problem with right clicks in Firefox. Whenever I made a right click on something on any website, the first option in the context menu would automatically be selected and executed. This was really annoying and it took me quite some time to find a solution to this problem.
Solution
I found this [3] question by ivohulsman on reddit. The answer of s_s helped to fix my problem. So I opened Firefox and entered about:config into the address bar. Than I created a new entry ui.context_menus.after_mouseup and set it to true. And that was it.
