I'm now reverting to my previously adopted motto. Don't mess with the registry unless you know what you are doing.

From once I gave up on finding a solution to the problem caused by Ccleaner and looked to my browser I was ok. I have used Ccleaner every few months for years and this was the first time I experienced a problem. I was lulled by the suggestion that I back up the registry before proceeding as I thought I could revert to the old registry without doing any harm.

I should not have 'messed with the registry'. I thought I could reverse any problems by reverting to the backup copy. Never again.

Thank you. I have refreshed Firefox and will set it up again to my requirements, Note to self: don't mess with the registry.

Perhaps there should be a warning about the Registry in Windows 10. I thought I was protected when I backed it up when CC suggested it. I was always warned not to mess with the registry unless I knew what I was doing. I should have taken note. I'm going to refresh Firefox and hope that sorts the problem. I can the add on any extensions I need. I have used CC for years and this is the first time I have had any problem. Edit: I have refreshed Firefox and the menu is back to normal. I now have to change settings and add on extensions. At least I know what I'm doing and have learned a lesson about 'messing with the registry'.

The menu you show is the one I had when I clicked a Tab before using Ccleaner. I have a couple of translate Add-ons but they don't appear in the right click menu from a Tab. I access them from the address line together with Adblockplus and Email this page. The last two don't appear on the right click menu. You didn't mention the backup of the Registry. Would reverting to that solve the problem or create more.

Hi, thanks for replying. Windows version 2004 OS Build 19041.685 The browser was Firefox and the tab was one of several that opened in Firefox after using Ccleaner. When I tried to reload the first tab I noticed the missing menu items on the right click menu. That was the first actiobn after running CCleaner. I'm not using any antivirus software except Windows Defender. When I right click in this message I can only see 3 menu items: Check spelling, Languages and Translate. When I highlight some text and right click there are a couple of additional choices, Screenshot, Search Google (for whatever text is highlighted).

I run Ccleaner every few months and it has always been successful in clearing out dross and making my Windows 10 laptop run better until this last time. Suddenly, when I right mouse pad click on a Tab the context menu is almost empty. I went into mouse settings and changed some settings and that has restored the menu when I right click on a Tab but not in other websites like Youtube. When I click in some websites the only items showing are Take a Screenshot and Translation options. Can anybody tell me how to restore the menu to the one I had before I used Ccleaner. I backed up the Registry when it was suggested and I can restore it if that will solve the problem. I don't want to try it as I may make things worse so would be glad of help from someone who knows more than me. I just use the thing. Acer Aspire Windows 10 laptop
