Right-Click doesn't work in Safari

I've been using Firefox 2 for a while now, and sometimes I've needed to open up Safari for some webpages that make Firefox unresponsive. Now, for the past few days, the right-click isn't working in Safari. Neither does the control - click. It works in Firefox and Camino though.

However, it works on the Bookmarks Bar and address bar.

Any way to fix this?

Sorry to bump this up, but...

The right-click still doesn't work. I've even tried reinstalling Safari. And it still doesn't work. What can I do to fix it?

Do you have any programs that modify Safari (like Saft or SafariStand) installed?

If not, I would quit Safari, go to ~/Library/Preferences (where "~" is your home folder) and delete the file com.apple.safari.plist. That might help.

I would try removing PithHelmet first, in case it's doing anything strange. If that doesn't work, then do the other thing I suggested.

I can't believe it was that simple...

Anyhow, thanks for the help.

PithHelmet is nice and all, the problem is that it breaks (and usually causes nasty problems) EVERY time Safari is updated. I would avoid it.
