		A321 on July 1, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: "Disable Javascript" option removed in Firefox 23 Shift + right click is the shortcut to always go to the browser context menu.. No need to toggle preferences.

Thank you. I'm not familiar with JavaScript but would it be possible for websites to block shift+right click as well?

EDIT: Per this comment [1] holding shift causes Firefox to bypass event handlers, so hopefully that wouldn't be possible.
