I did remove everything i could find in my user directory before my last attempt to uninstall and reinstall with no change.
please try with a new, clean user.
Struggling to login to a new user, get an Xsession error saying its disabled but i can login via terminal session. The only way to clear that Xsession error is to Ctrl Backspace Backspace, it does have an "okay" button on the message but its unclickable and un-escapeable or any key. Anyway, thats a digression.
That's very strange.
The normal procedure is to fire up YaST, select "user and group management", and in the window that appears, click on the "add" button.
Yep, thats what i did in Yast. After the problem i went back into yast and the user wasn't in the goup. i checked the group config, and it said default group is "user" but other defaults were missing like a skeleton directory and a default shell - I haven't used the add user for a long time but i thought Yast always had sensible defaults set up.
I tried firefox in an old existing account I've not used for a few years and it works fine. But with the other accounts i use regularly, right-click doesn't work.
This is what "try a new user" advice tries to find out if it happens: it means it is your own configuration the problem, not a system problem.
Of course, we are assuming that the new user has the same desktop as your normal user.
Yes, all the same desktop. The problem is in a couple of the logins i have set up.
I can't say what, as I'm using FF 78
