How to change menu text?

[semigeek]

In the bookmark context menu, longstanding entries "Properties" and "Delete" have been replaced by "Edit bookmark" and "Remove bookmark". After all those years my eye still scans for "Delete" (which remains in the History context menu!) making it hard to recognize "Remove". I know how to get rid of an entry with css, but is there a way to replace it with new text, "Delete"?

I see the "Delete Bookmark" label in Firefox 104.0.2.

Try something like:

Code: Select all

#placesContext_deleteBookmark > label { display: none !important; }
#placesContext_deleteBookmark::after { content: "Delete"; }

CSS Content

The id for the "Edit Bookmark…" label is "placesContext_show_bookmark:info", oddly. I don't know if the ":info" in the id mucks up the css selector.

Thanks morat, that code did the trick. I suspected I needed "after/before" and "content" but am not confident about putting that together. (I just upgraded to 91.13; glad to know this goof has been fixed down the road. I actually think "Edit bookmark" is an improvement on "Properties" and will leave it alone.)

Oddly enough, I had just run into the colon issue (":info") elsewhere, it seems to be occurring in some newer items. I right-clicked something like this in the Toolbox to get its selector, which had a backslash (escape) inserted before the colon, and that worked in userChrome.css.
(Ah, found it: #placesContext_open\:newtab, #placesContext_open\:newwindow, #placesContext_open\:newprivatewindow)

I was experiencing the same problem, so I made it in color.

Code: Select all

/* userChrome.css Firefox Tweak */
/* Colored_Delete-Show_Bookmark-Folder_items_context_menu.css */
#placesContext_show_folder\:info {
    color: yellow !important; /* color of the text for "Change folder..." */
}
#placesContext_deleteFolder {
    color: red !important; /* color of the text for "Delete Folder" */
}
#placesContext_show_bookmark\:info {
    color: yellow !important; /* color of the text for "Change Bookmark..." */
}
#placesContext_deleteBookmark {
    color: red !important; /* color of the text for "Delete Bookmark" */
}

There are more ids with colons than I thought.

Yes, I too had made the "Remove" entries red to catch my eye. (Your code suggests there have been further modifications now, to "Change bookmark/folder" etc... how can anyone imagine this is helpful? Can I turn it into a rabbit?)
