Is there an addon to defeat this right-click disable method ?
thanks !
I don't think so. This is just shitty website design on the part of the website developers. They aren't links, they are elements with click handlers on them, so the browser doesn't know what to open.
On some websites it works if you click one part of such an element, eg. the text.
I think if I middle click there, firefox should duplicate the tab and click there. Something to work aroubd this annoyance somehow. I intended to open like 20 elements in that list in each new tab. This was very annoying!
In the end I just gave up! And didn't buy anything
If you’re trying to open the link in a new tab, does CTRL+click work?
Like middle click, it did not open in a new tab.
Unrelated because it's a different problem, but if a website actually disables your right-click, try holding Shift while right-clicking.
Can you do the text instead of the image?
Yes, but it is the same, not a "real" link but a javascript thing
So stupid when pages are broken on purpose.
You can't middle-click them because they aren't links. That is to say, they are not a elements but div elements with an added click event handler that navigates to another page. There's a case to be made for doing things like that on a website that's trying to behave like a native application, but Ebay fundamentally behaves like a website and building its navigation this way is bad design.
If you use the "Inspect (Q)" option, you can see that it is not a hyperlink. JavaScript will interfere and act like you clicked on a link calling a specific JavaScript function.
