Autarchy of the Private Cave

When right-clicking many links in FF3/IW3, it quite often happens so that a random action is performed instead of opening the context menu (bug report).

One of the solutions work-arounds (suggested by Andre Pirard) is to slow-right-click, that is to hold the right mouse button down until the menu actually appears, then - and only then - release it. Or, you can even slow-right-click, move the pointer over the desired menu item, and then release - that will perform the desired action in a single long right click (instead of more common single right click with a following single left click.)

This bug/behaviour is otherwise unsolved.

For some reason, my IW 3 is now starting in Offline mode each time, despite my attempts to remove that checkbox every time.

Update: as suggested by Donny Kurnia (based on the recent post by Hobgoblin), the simplest and the most correct way to fix the problem is to go to about:config and set toolkit.networkmanager.disable to true.

Below you will find other (worse and obsolete) solutions.
