Click even on Click disabled Webpage

You might have sometime tried to right click on a webpage but failed. One of the most probable reason for this could be the disabling of right click option on the webpage by owner of the website for security purpose so that nothing can be copied from the webpage.

Its good as far as security is concerned but sometimes you may need to copy something for good reason, so you must know how to enable right click option on these webpages. Please don't use this trick without a good reason. Here is the trick....

For  Firefox users :

• Go to Tools->Options->Content tab


• Against the Enable JavaScript checkbox click on Advanced tab.


• Uncheck the "Disable or replace context menus" checkbox and click ok.

Its over. Right clicked have been enabled for you.
