I finally figured out how to hide context menu items and added this code to userchrome.css:

Code: Select all

#context-setDesktopBackground, #context-sendimage {
  display: none !important;
}
The question is: can this particular code or any .css code cause performance degradation? I am a bit paranoid after I discovered NoScript 5 uses synchronous API for content blocking.
Sorry for my poor English.

I think that code is safe. Complicated CSS might cause some noticeable performance issues. I'm thinking fancy shadows and transforms and things of that nature. But hiding a couple of menu entries is pretty safe.

However, talk of the town is userChrome is going away. Supposed to be Fx 57 that it stopped being supported, as I recall. Maybe now that the 57 train is coming into the station they will evaluate whether or not they can really kill it in time.

Please do not PM me for personal support. Keep posts here in the Forums instead and we all learn.

I haven't seen any bugs about killing userChrome yet and the Fx 57 branch point is on the 2nd of August so that would probably be cutting things a bit close. They may have changed the version on which they want to end support (or perhaps they have reconsidered completely). If you do see a bug pop up for this please do let us know.
Cheers!

As far as I remember, someone from Firefox team wrote in Firefox blog there were no plans to remove userchrome.
