Does anyone know why since the last Firefox update that I cannot
right click on the mouse and save pics or ANYTHING? It occurs only on Firefox.
Any tips on how to correct this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

1. Unable to save or download files:
Unable to save or download files
If you are unable to save or download files in Firefox, try these suggestions:

9. Thank you
I am going through these and haven't found which one addresses the problem yet--but I have cleared the download button and removed the AppInit_DLLS.
Still working on it.
Thanks for the info.

4. If it is just on some websites try right clicking on an image link and make sure
"block images from thisplace.com" is unchecked. If it is all sites something else is out of kilter.

Thank you, but it is all sites while using Firefox. I can right click on my desktop as well as on IE.

13. Something similar happened years ago
Some people with XP SP1 reported the same problem with Firefox 1.5, but it wasn't a general conflict because most people never experienced it. Someone figured out that the British version of 1.5 worked on their system and some other reported that upgrading to SP2 resolved their problems.

You could try SP3, but first I'd uninstall firefox with something that will remove its directory tree properly (CCleaner, etc.) and reinstalling from a newly downloaded 3.5.2 installer.
