Wink I call it "adding something" when the right click menu will not have an item, then you can go into the userChrome file and comment the tag to enable it, then you do have it in the right click menu. To me, that's "adding an item", if that's an erroneous description then I apologize.
What a semantic mess. I think the point was that you can't use these settings to add options that the Firefox context menus didn't originally contain. The example userChrome configs that people have been posting show how to
remove the various default items from the context menu. By commenting out the lines that
remove the default items, you are able to
restore them to the menu -- i.e. the same effect you could achieve by not including the lines to remove them in the first place. This isn't the same thing as
adding a new item which wasn't originally present in Firefox's default context menus, which is what people are trying to explain isn't possible (except through extensions).
I hope that makes sense (and that my understanding of this is correct).
Yes, I got that now, and that makes sense. I didn't realize this as first...maybe the first couple of days, but since then I gathered that. This was one of the things that was confusing as first. But what made it more confusing was that I asked something like "..where can one see a FULL list of what can be in the userChrome.css file..." and someone replied with something like "....there are too many of them" or "the css file would be to large....", etc. This lead me to believe that there were perhaps several dozen more "lines" that could be added to the userChrome file giving it further functionality. I know that functionality would be to
remove items now, but nevertheless it would still be more functionality.
Actually, the one thing that I'd actually like to see added to the context menus is an option to switch encodings, which is in the context menus in IE. I browse Japanese sites often and it's useful to have this option close at hand for the rare occasions when the encoding type isn't autodetected properly.
Yes, that would be nice too, and it's good to see a plugin for it. I have to go to a lot of .cn, .tw, .jp, etc., sites myself for PC hardware when there are no USA equivalents.
BTW, I found a problem with the MAF extension (that enables you to save webpages like IE's .mht format). Go to the Mozilla (of all places!) website that shows as the default homepage for FF. Click that T-Shirt at the right, and on the next page the image of the T-Shirt and credit cards
disappears!!! I duplicated the error many times by removing the extension and adding it again. It's definitely what's causing it. Strange thing is I haven't noticed this happening at any other websites, just the Mozilla page. Hey, I just now went there again and they removed the T-Shirt image!
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ They now have a NY Times image in its place, but the same thing happens when you click it; the T-Shirt and credit card images on the next page still disappear.
