Making Firefox's right-click not suck with about:config(joshua.hu)

It actually makes sense, because instead of wondering where the option is, you learn that it is not applicable in the given context. It also supports the spatial memory you have of the surrounding options.

I just notice they made about:config suck more.

Articles about entries use to be able to do:

about:config?filter=browser.translations.select.enable

Now all that does is show this stupid "be careful" warning.

The "Email Image..." one is infuriating. Who right clicks an image to email it to someone in 2026? And if it's you, could you help me understand why??

Every random app now-a-days has share buttons. Why shouldn't the browser have on, when it is inherently about browsing a network resource?

It's still more useful than the "Set as desktop background" entry.

Holy crap, I use Firefox every day on Windows and MacOS and I've never seen a menu like that.

Of course, I've never selected an entire page section of multimedia content and right clicked on it before.

Of course the menu has a lot of options - you've given it multiple contexts and it's a context menu.

i switched to waterfox last week and the context menu is better from the get-go. and no AI either.

The newest Firefox build has a nice feature: you highlight some text on a page, and instead of having to right-click and navigate to the AI submenu to bring up a list of canned prompts, none of which are what you actually want to ask, it just pops up a button next to the highlighted text that you can click to enter a prompt immediately.

So this guy's rant, besides not making a whole lot of sense (first he complains about the length of the right-click menu, then he complains that they moved the AI stuff to a side menu...?) is also obsolete.
