Firefox Shift-Right click opening menus while drawing in studies • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

When in a study, or a game, it's possible to draw different colored arrows with combinations of Shift + Mouse Button or Shift + Alt + Mouse button.

The problem is, with Firefox specifically, Shift + Right click force overrides any blocking of the Firefox "Context Menu." This occurs with both Shift + Right click (red arrows and circles), and Shift + Alt + Right Click (orange arrows and circles).

This is really a problem in studies, when I'm diagramming multiple lines because a left click on the board (to dismiss the context menu) erases all markings.

To add context: https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/shift--right-click-on-the-board-in-firefox-580b8-64-bit-opens-the-menu

So at least thibault is aware of it.

My question(s):

Is there a way to disable this context menu using Firefox settings?
Hopefully this would be website specific.

If not, is there a way to change key bindings on either FF or Lichess? So I can avoid the Shift-Right click override?
If not, can we get some key binding options? Or maybe an option to replace left clicking the board to clear all markings with a button on the side? I do realize this would interfere with the minimalist UI.

Hopefully someone out there can help me out!

Note: Telling me to use Chrome isn't a solution that helps. I realize this is a Firefox issue, but myself and many others don't particularly want to use Chrome for one reason or another.

I don't know if this is helpful in anyway, but I'm using version 61.0.1 (64-bit), and the Shift-right click override appears to have been added to firefox version 32.0.3.

Also: I posted this as a Question, but I wasn't able to see my question posted. If I've accidentally spammed this everywhere, I'm sorry.

It looks like that could work, but unfortunately it's incompatible with the current version of Firefox.

I wish I could just turn off the override shortcut - I don't ever use it. It's too bad Mozilla is moving towards less user configurable settings like everyone else.
