The righ click menu is convenient for that. Thankfully it isn't your only recourse (see my previous message). Hopefully either JAWS or Firefox will fix this in an update. As it seems fine with nVDA it would seem that the onus is more on the JAWS side of things, though I don't know what could have caused this to happen.

however, to open in a new tab, I press ctrl-enter, and to open in a new window, shift-enter. The only thing I usually use the right click menu for is to copy links to share them, or to save a file associated with a link, say to download a podcast episode or something similar. And testing it now, yes, i see the problem. Damn, that's unfortunate. Now I just switched to nVDA v21.3, where the context menu seems to be working as expected. So that's interesting. I guess, wait for a JAWS or Firefox update -- maybe it can be fixed on either end. In the meantime, try those keyboard commands I guess (ctrl-enter, shift-enter, ctrl-s to save, though the last isn't as convenient as using the context menu on a link since you dont' ahve to go there in order to save anything)

everything. I think the start to this thread mentions youtube. I keep my youtube set to not play videos automatically, and I wait a minute before using the letter B to find the play button, because that allows time for an ad to play out before starting the video. I usually do alt D while I'm waiting and copy the URL, so if I get interrupted with a commercial, I close the window with control W and paste the URL into Pontes downloader. Well, if the URL is already in the clipboard, it will get loaded when I open Pontes. Glenn

I'm using Firefox 102.0, 6b bit, as I type this, running a rather old version of JAWS, and it's working great.

So if something is broken, perhaps it's a recent JAWS update.

Not the same as firefox at all. This is actually the first major problem I've had with firefox in several years of use. Its main advantages are: easier to get to my bookmarks, menu interface more like windows and less like a dog's breakfast, and the facebook container plug-in, which is nice for keeping facebook from knowing every website you visit on the web. If I had to use a chromium browser full-time, I'd use brave as much as I could. I do use chrome for a few things, but they can't fix a poor design.
