I d/l firefox 2.0.0.3, but seem to have lost the ability to
'right click' (I have the crappy one button mouse that came with my mac). Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or am I just out of luck? Thanks.

1. I'm confused
what's the question? You have a one button mouse and you're wondering why you can't right click?

2. No, I put right click in quotes because
when you hold the one button down, the menu pops up on the side of the cursor--like it does with the right click button on a 2 button mouse. Sorry for the confusion; I didn't know how else to explain it.

Either way, I can't get that little menu, so I can't get properties, copy the link location, etc. I would like to know how to fix it--is it me, or is it firefox.

7. You do realise you can use a multi-button mouse, right?
Provided you can afford a new mouse (and it doesn't need to be from Apple: I've used cheap generic 3-button mice with Macs), there's no reason to stick with that crappy one-button mouse if you don't like it. Last time I had to use a one-button mouse it felt like I had one arm tied behind my back...

8. I hated that mouse for some reason
I replaced it with a $12 three-button mouse and am much happier for it.
