![]() Generally speaking, I have noticed no problems worth mentioning during the time I have been using this browser. ![]() I am not sure what is the problem with “cutting and pasting within the browser”, unless it means doing that from and to the address bar, which I have not had any problems doing, so far. Pressing it with two fingers and holding does the same job as pressing on the “right button” - except that Macs’ mice famously have only one button! The track-pad equivalent to the corresponding action with the one-button mouse: pressing the track-pad with one finger and holding (= depressing the one button and holding) while also pressing Control, works too. ![]() I have been using Waterfox in my new-ish Mac laptop for over a year. This does not work in Waterfox because Mozilla checked in the fix after Waterfox forked.Īscaris: ” and I am guessing it is the same on MacOS, ” The fourth would be to override the system setting in the application, as the prefs mentioned will do. It’s not the same on the touchpad… I have never seen the issue with a touchpad. KDE does allow one to change the drag threshold, but I am on my Swift now, not at home where my mouse is. That would be the third workaround, and the best one, I think. I have not looked into it yet to see if KDE has a way to change this behavior, and I have no idea about Mac either. The very action of pressing (which is more of a stab, the way I do it when I am moving quick) the button moves the mouse a little. These applications typically think that I am trying to cancel the action if I have dragged a few pixels in between, so nothing happens. I am a sloppy mouser, so to speak, so I often get issues in games and other applications that select on button-down but finalize on button-up. The second is to be sure the mouse is still when pressing and releasing the right button. The first workaround is to use the button-down-drag-select-release method. If not, the OS thinks you are trying to initiate a hold-release menu select, and since you only moved the mouse a few pixels, the first option (which usually appears at the mouse pointer location) is still highlighted when it receives the mouse-up, which it selects. If you try to use the context menu Windows style (right click and release to open the context menu, then point at the option you want and left click), you have to be careful keep the mouse still between the right-button-down and right-button-up events. In KDE, which I use with Waterfox, and I am guessing it is the same on MacOS, the context menu fires on mouse right-button down, and it is then possible to hold the button down and drag down to the context menu option you wish, then release there to select, in the same manner the classic Mac worked when I last used it with its one button. In Windows, the context menu (in Waterfox, on the desktop… anywhere) opens not when you depress the right mouse button, but when you release it. I’ve had this happen in Waterfox, but as I see it (at least as it happens to me), it is a problem with the OS, not Waterfox itself. The first link has 2 workarounds that do work in Firefox, but don’t seem to work in Waterfox. Trying to copy and paste inside the browser is painful at times. | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support Right click automatically clicks first menu item (on the right click menu popup). Right-click menu often disappears in Firefox right after appearing. Right mouse btn instantly clicks first option in Firefox with i3 : i3wmįirefox right click context menu gets activated and closes immediately instead of staying open : elementaryos The links below describe the problem better than I can articulate without writing a small thesis. But it seems to be an issue inherited from Firefox. The only issue I am having is when I use it in Mac OS. I can’t comment on the memory leakage, if it is, I never noticed. I have to look at the task bar or dock to remember. I can’t tell the difference between the 2 during use. Been using it almost exclusively since FF52esr went E.O.L. I have been using Waterfox alongside Firefox when I switched from FF54 to FF52esr. ![]()
