Compare your actual Firefox context menu (right-click menu) to pictures of mine.

Compare Link Context Menu

Stored image (normal link)
[bad ref to image]   [ff_rc_link_new1.jpg]   [ff_rc_link_new2.jpg]     Right-Click on this link to compare your right-click context menu to the one I've modifed containing my chosen extensions after modifications with Menu Editor.

Since these pictures, I have added  “Copy Link Text”  just below  “Copy Link Location”.

Old links context menu 2005-11-26 (on Win2000).

New links context menu 2007-09-24 (on Vista),
last item not shown is "Unicode" and it is a folder.


Compare Text Selection Context Menu

Stored image (plain text selection)
   Select several words in this paragraph and then right click on and off the Selection (also Shift+F10) to compare your right-click context menu to the one I've modifed containing my chosen extensions after modifications with Menu Editor.

Pretty much the same whether you click on empty area (body), single word, or a paragraph.

alternate test image Right-click on the lower right corner of the image at left (or on the purple ball .gif) to compare your own context menu to the one on the left that I've modifed containing my chosen extensions after modifications with Menu Editor.

The fact that you often cannot see the entire context menu in Firefox, is the reason that I moved the "Copy Link Location" down from the other Link portions of the Context Menu. 

Firefox (at least up to 1.0.7) incorrectly always places context menu up from an image, with a non-image link it will at least try down or up from the link.  (Internet Explorer does not have this problem with context menu display.)

For best results use full page view for comparisons, especially the next test.

Click on the picture within the link below and compare to the stored picture on the right.

These are my customizations based on my currently enabled Firefox Extensions.  Sorry having to resort to pictures for documentation, but there is no self documenting option.  I don't think I have changed other menus with Menu Editor.  Several Firefox extension were changed within their options as whether an extension will use Edit, Tools, Context menu.

Since these pictures were taken I have placed a separator above Launchy, and moved CopyURL Plus just below, and then another separator, so the pair are a tad below the middle of the context menu.

All of the larger pictures on this page were created from print screen captures to the clipboard and then cropped and saved by SnagIt Screen Capture (TechSmith, commercial software)
Non commercial alternative screen capture programs:  MWSnap (Mirek), Windows program for snapping (capturing) images from selected parts of the screen, can be also used as a fast picture viewer or converter.  There are also several screen capture Firefox extensions available for use in grabbing part of a webpage.
