Why can't I use right click menu in Alert Dialog?
Why can't I use right click menu in Alert Dialog? I select the text in an alert dialog but when I press right click the menu will not show up. I works in Chrome. Why not in Firefox? Any way to have it work?

Do you mean a
window.alert('Some text');
dialog?
You can press Ctrl+c to copy the selected text.
I don't think there are any other applicable actions that would appear on a menu. What did you have in mind?
Your Firefox identified itself as version 81, while the current release is version 87. Are you holding off on updating for a specific reason?
I mean <input type="button" onclick="alert()"> And, yes Ctrl+C is working. But I am missing the right click menu in FireFox.

Agreed, there is no right-click context menu. However, the only thing I can think of that would be applicable from the menu is Copy, and maybe Select All.
There are keyboard shortcuts for those, so I suspect enabling a menu would be a low priority (that's a guess, it's not my decision).
What the dialog needs is a button like "Close this tab, I'm annoyed by all these alerts" but I'm not sure that would fit. ;-)
Yes, for the Copy. I often use a website which shares information via Alert Dialog which I need to copy and use in another application. And it is (would be) much more convinient and faster in my case if I had right click menu (then double/triple clicking to select text and) Copy because I would need one hand only for this task, while I could prepare my other hand to press Alt+Tab to switch to the other application (without repositioning hand/fingers from Ctrl+C). Thank you for your comments anyway!

Each site might be different, but Ctrl+A Ctrl+C works for me, which is not too bad. Of course, this could by why my wrists and arms hurt so much lately!
How can I submit a suggession to the developers? Maybe they consider implement it. I cannot be the only one who is missing this option.
