I couldn't confirm this bug in the current release or Nightly.
Please download the latest Firefox version (https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/new/) and try to reproduce this bug again with a clean profile as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Thanks for your efforts,

Jan

Version is 44.0.1, checking updates says firefox is up to date. Are you sure you have your player settings set to use HTML5 instead of the default Flash Player?

This is generally caused by the user having set the dom.event.contextmenu.enabled preference to false. Kainyusanagi, if you set dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to true in about:config, does that resolve the issue for you?

@Kainyusanagi
Yes, I am sure. Please try the setting Trevor wrote about. If your issue should still persist after that test again with a clean profile as described in my last comment.

Thanks,

Jan

That resolved it! I've never played with that setting before, so not sure why it was set to false. Thanks for that!
