How to get rid of right click menu?
I like to mouse over a hyperlink in a web page and select "open in a new tab". The right click menu jumps in the way. I don't like or use the right click menu. How do I stop it from stopping me? As a side note, the reason I like "open in a new tab" is that some websites will open on the same page and in some events the back button will not return you to that page. I find the new tab very helpful and the right click menu a pain in the ---. Win 8.1 Firefox - newest Alternatively, is there a way to add "open in a new tab" to the menu that gets in the way?

The right-click menu is context-sensitive. When you right-click a link, you should have the option to open in a new tab, new window, or new private window. (In a private window, "new window" is not displayed.) The menu in your screen shot would normally appear if you clicked a blank area of the page without a link directly under the mouse pointer.
I can't think of any built-in way to get the Open in New Tab command just mousing over a hyperlink. Do you have an add-on that does that automatically for you? If so, I wonder whether it might need an update?
Incidentally, you usually will get a new tab if you hold down Ctrl while clicking a link, or if you have a middle mouse button or scroll wheel, clicking with that middle mouse button or wheel.
By the way, the "Sign Up / Sign In" text on Daily Motion is a trigger to run a script. It isn't actually a link at all. If you left-click it, there is a real "sign up" link in the overlay the page displays.
