Right Click on my MacBook Pro will not work

I cannot get my MacBook Pro to right click. I have tried using the trackpad as well as control + Click, and it only brings up "Back" "Reload Page" "Save Page As" and "Print Page"


I've tried going into system preferences- track pad- secondary clicking and changing the 2 finger click to bottom right position and it still brings up the same message listed above. Any ideas on how to correct this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Hold the Control key and click opens up the contextual menu.. the contextual menu changes depending on where you are /or what you have highlighted... for example in this FireFox browser here:

Sure you can use the Trackpad preference
