As title says. I used Chrome for years, but last year switched to Firefox instead. I still use Google Docs a lot, and while I can Copy & Paste using keyboard shortcuts, I'd like the option to use the mouse as well. But for greedy reasons, Google thinks that's just too much power for Firefox to have. Does anyone know how to give Firefox the ability?

i think it changed a few times, but firefox may still have about:config settings to toggle event blocking for secondary mouse buttons. i think it was dom.event.contextmenu.enabled , but it may be different now. if it is off, firefox doesn't allow sites to replace the menu, which is more secure, because you can't be tricked to click fake menu entries on harmful sites

I tried your suggestion, and it unfortunately didn't work. Oh well, was hopeful I could get it working, but looks like it's just keyboard shortcuts only. Least they work I guess. Thanks for the help though.

you can shift+right click (or maybe alt? Ctrl?) to override the sites right click

If you're open to using cryptpad, I believe they offer that feature.
