Where is my Right Click Menu?

[Guza]

I usually have this options menu during right click on weblinks the gives me the options of;



Open Link in New Tab…

Open Link in New Window…

etc.

etc.

etc.



But sometimes this switches on its own to a different submenu of options listed below;



Save Page As…

View Background Image…

Select All…

etc.

etc.

etc.



I have 4 questions;



1) how do I change this back to the first original submenu options?

2) how can I prevent this from changing on its own again?

3) is this a change in OSX System Preferences or is it a browser setting?

4) Is this submenu easily customizable? Or do I need a special toolbox program?

The right click menu is "contextual". Its items depend on what you clicked. For example, if you don't click on a link you won't see options to "Open link...".

@Guza , I concur with @chabig , the first menu that you described is when you alt click on a link. The second is seen you alt click on a webpage on a place without a link.

when I right-click on a link this first menu with "Open link in new tab" etc still does not show up? It seems to have permanently changed to never showing this menu again regardless if I right-click on a link or not?

That's not right. Show us a screenshot.

chabig,

actually, I was serious and I thank you.

I learned right click on another computer, then when I got the new ipad it didn't work that way. Thanks!! Never underestimate the befuddlement of a mac user! Ha!

Then I feel bad for making that comment. Please accept my apology. I’m glad you now know.
