To remove entries from the context menu you need to
-
Find your profile folder (profile names are different for everyone):
Address bar > Enterabout:support
> ClickOpen Folder
(second one, not the "Update Folder"). -
Download this project and unzip it.
-
Move
userChrome.css
andsimpleMenuWizard
into [...]\profile.folder\chrome\ directory.
Ifchrome
folder doesn't exist, create it.
IfuserChrome.css
already exists, do not overwrite and proceed here. -
Open
userChrome.css
with a texteditor for a general overview and some options. -
Open the
simpleMenuWizard
directory and edit each .css file (except beginning withopt_
) to customize them to your needs.
Remove menu item: Remove/*
at the beginning of the line.
Leave menu item: Add/*
to the beginning of the line (by default every option is deactivated).Each file is for another context:
blank-context.css
when right-clicking on a blank area or textframe-context.css
when right-clicking on an iframeimage-context.css
when right-clicking on an imageinput-context.css
when right-clicking on an input-fieldlink-context.css
when right-clicking on a linkmain-hamburger.css
when left-clicking on the three lines on top rightmain-menubar.css
when left-clicking on the main menubar (open with ALT key - file, edit, view, ...)media-context.css
when right-clicking on media like audio or html5 videoselect-context.css
when right-clicking on selected text or objectsidebar-context.css

-
Load
about:config
into addressbar. Search fortoolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
and make sure the value istrue
. -
Restart Firefox to make changes work.
Important notes:
- All options and items are disabled by default, so if you don't edit the files, nothing will happen.
- Items that appear in different contexts with the same ID will disappear in all those contexts when activated only once. This is because many menus internally share the same very big context menu and are separated here for more convenience.
For specific problems please open an issue, there may be workarounds.
If you don't use either of those "internal addons" at all, you can just disable them, which will also remove their context menu entries everywhere.
How to do it: Load about:config
into addressbar and set the respective value.
- Pocket: Search for
extensions.pocket.enabled
and switch tofalse
. - Sync: Search for
identity.fxaccounts.enabled
and switch tofalse
. - Screenshots: Search for
extensions.screenshots.disabled
and switch totrue

Easiest thing to do is renaming the userChrome.css
that came with the zip package of simpleMenuWizard.
Rename it to simpleMenuWizard.css
and put it into chrome
directory next to the already existing userChrome.css
.
Open the old userChrome.css
which is filled with foreign code and add @import url("./simpleMenuWizard.css");
to the very top. That's it!
You can now edit simpleMenuWizard.css
for a general overview and some options or continue with step 5.
Delete all the files and folders that came with this project.
So if you don't use other modifications, you can simply delete the whole [...]\profile.folder\chrome\ directory.
Restart your browser.
