Anyone who uses firefox installs extensions. The trouble with extension developers is that each one thinks his/her addon is the most important and needs to have a right click option. Eventually you have so many items in your right click it’s near impossible to find a copy or paste option. Also a lot of menu items like the “send this page”, etc, are often not required. Fortunately, there is an easy way to clean things up.
As with everything else in firefox, this is accomplished by installing an extension. In this case, it’s the Menu Editor extension.
All the context menus are shown, and are selectable with the dropdown menu. Then you can show or hide any of the menu items or even add separators to make more sense.
Why edit your menus? Usability, primarily. If you want to copy the path of an image, and you right click on it, you’re given hundreds of options to stumble or digg or adblock it, when there are other methods to do those actions, and you seldom use the right click one.
Spend a few minutes cleaning your menus out, and you’ll see a huge difference.

I used this plugin to remove the annoying ‘Open in New Window’ option in the right click context menu. A very annoying option since I open everything in tabs.
