How to re-enable the context menu in this case?

Question

document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault()
    e.stopPropagation()
    e.returnValue = false
    e.cancleBubble = true
})

No way?

Edit: document.oncontextmenu = null does not work.

P.S. I cannot have the reference of the listener function since I am not the owner of the site preventing the context menu.

Rather than disabling the context menu, why don't you assign the right click event?

If you are really desperate, try adding this before the addEventListener is called. It works in both FF and Chrome. I didn't check anything else.

document.superListener = document.addEventListener;
document.addEventListener = function(type, listener, useCapture){
    if(type != 'contextmenu')
        document.superListener(type, listener, !!useCapture);
};

It may not be the best way to do things, but it should be the job done on your specific example :)

I use my bookmarklet in such cases:

javascript:(function(w){
    var arr = ['contextmenu','copy','cut','paste','mousedown','mouseup','beforeunload','beforeprint'];
    for(var i = 0, x; x = arr[i]; i++){
        if(w['on' + x])w['on' + x] = null;
        w.addEventListener(x, function(e){e.stopPropagation()}, true);
    };
    for(var j = 0, f; f = w.frames[j]; j++){try{arguments.callee(f)}catch(e){}}})(window);
