Firefox Q- what's the name of the damn setting you toggle for contextual menu popup upon clicking and holding on a link? - Black - 08-01-2009
And . . . has anyone ever entered "about:config" on a windows machine?

Thanks, but no such animal.
Could have sworn it started with UI but it's not there.
Have scanned the entire list at least once through . . .
Fumbling around in XP, the best I've figured out is that control-clicking on a link opens it in a seperate tab. Would rather just be able to tap/hold-- once you've gotten used to this you really miss it when it's gone.

You get that warning the first time you do it on a Mac, too.
...
about:config
ui.click_hold_context_menus
Double-click to set it to "true."
(BTW, experimenting by typing descriptive words into the about:config filter usually comes up with solutions quicker than asking on a message board.
)

Yup, searched the filter already. Why are you always smug when you're wrong and humble when you're right?
Anyways, there are only about 8 choices under ui., and none of them come close-- I'm going to have to conclude that there's no corresponding option in the Windows version. I can sort of understand why since it's very easy to right click when you have a mouse.

OK, duh, I just realized that I can right click on a URL with this click pad-- it's going to take a bit of practice but I think I'll get the hang of it.

Ya' got me.
It's Mac-only.
