Cannot right click while in aol.com only. On all other websites right click works fine. Upgraded, still nothing
All of a sudden I cannot right click while at aol.com. Right click works fine on any other website. Right click does works on aol.com with Chrome and Safari. Checked addons and I only have acrobat as an addon. Plugins are Acrobat NPAPI, Google Earth, Java Applet, Logmein, Sharepoint, Quicktime, and Shockwave.

It is possible for websites to disable the right-click context menu.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
Did you try to disable plugins as well?
You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
I tried it in safe mode which I thought disabled everything.
Safe mode only disables extension and doesn't affect plugins.
If you want to test for plugins then you need to disable them yourself in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.
