optuma Not sure how would UI for this look like, because context-menu is context dependent. It is different if you click anywhere on page, on a link, select some text, on an image... plus it changes based on installed extensions. How would a user be allowed to edit all that is not clear.

      Vlad Firefox also has preferences (for general settings) and about:config (for advanced settings). So something similar to this?

          joystmp Screenshot please (and does it cover all use cases listed above?)

              joystmp Hm not sure how those screenshots address this:

              Meaning that existence and position of elements in the context menu, depends a lot on the context where the menu is triggered. So it is unclear how would an UI to allow setting this would look like.

                  Thanks for providing this.

                  I personally don't use reload, go back from right-click menu. I use the toolbar at the top.

                  I am not sure about the best solution but I think it would be cleaner to be able to remove things that are not necessary to the user.

                      Vlad changed the title to Ability to hide right click context menu items .

                        We are still looking for a suggestion what an UI for making these adjustments for handling different context menu situations.

                            Hey Vlad, don't you like the Path Finder interface posted above?
                            On the left are all the options. Right: activated options.
                            Just move the options from left to right and top to bottom.

                                Younger_Me The thing is, context menus look different depending on what you're clicking, as per the word "context" in the name. When clicking an image, text, url, or video, different options show up.

                                    Younger_Me Not that I do not like it, but trying to understand how do we fit yet another niche feature while we have 2000 open bug reports. My recommendation is to simplify the ask to the minimum viable. Recreating some kind of new UI takes a lot of time. I wish we could do everything you recommend, we simply need to balance available resources.

                                        Vlad of course 🙂 I post my ideas, and if you like them, you can put them wherever you like on the waiting list 😉
