I've deleted all Camino files and re-downloaded. I have no idea what's
going on. Right-click works fine in all other applications and
Firefox. I don't know what I could have done to create this problem.
I've tried different mice and keyboards. Any suggestions?

What do you think is supposed to occur when you right clink a link?

What version of Camimo? Control+Click opens the context menu without
issue here.

I've tried the current version and the nightly build. I've been using
Camino for over a year with no problems but am now forced to use
Firefox. And, to answer a previous question, I expect the contextual
menu to appear of course; nothing appears now.

Do quote enough material from earlier posts to give your reply context.

Then again, this is a low traffic group, its pretty easy to keep current ;)

Installing new versions is not likely to help, since the problem would
seem to be in your profile, located here:

Macintosh HD/(username)/Library/Application Support/Camino

With Camino closed, navigate to the above location, and rename the
Camino folder to OldCamino. Close out, then open Camino.

Camino will no longer be able to find your profile, so it will create a
new one. Does the context menu come up with the new profile?

An alternative to right click is control left click (does same thing)
But that doesnt 'fix' the problem, as I suspect it is his profile as you do

As I mentioned above, I deleted ALL Camino files, including the
Application Support files in all users and root. I tried again
recently (all new Camino files) and it still doesn't work. I've used
various mice, 2 keyboards, and my MacBook trackpad and keyboard. This
came up unexpectedly for no apparent reason.

I'm actually liking Firefox a bit now other than a few non-mac-like
visuals and I think it's a bit slower. I love the plugins ability
though. Also looking forward to cocoa widgets in 3.0.

I'm stumped.

There are a lot of people who are blissfully unaware that such a thing
as a profile exists, since Camino does not make it very clear. Often
people like that will say that they deleted all Camino files, when they
are actually just reinstalling.

Well, if its not in the profile, and its not in the program, its in the
system, or so it would seem. Yet you say you are forced to use Firefox,
so I make the assumption its working there. Does it work in Safari as well?

I was aware of the profile and I used AppZapper to remove all files. I
then searched for any additional files related to mozilla or camino.
Right- (control-)click works within every other application, including
Safari.

Well then, its not in the profile, its not in the program, and its not
in the system.

I would suggest asking over at the Mozillazine Camino forum, its a lot
more active then this group.
