Creating a new profile would mean I'd need to reinstall 60+ extensions plus setting all their options _and_ edit "all kinds of menus except bookmarks" )
FYI: If you save/archive your extensions to your computer, you can "easily" install them via "drag & drop."
I use MR Tech Local Install and have it set to archive any extension I install to a separate folder. When updates become available, they are archived to the same folder. I will periodically go through the archive folder and purge old/unused extensions. If I decide or have to make a new profile once I have Fx running with the new profile, I open the Add-ons window, highlight the extensions I want to install in Fx and then drag & drop them into the Fx Add-ons window and they install! Once installed a restart and your are off and running.
An alternative is the Firefox Extensions Backup Extension. This extension enable you to backup a lot of the personal aspects of your profile including extensions.

1.2.3 lost the controls to Maximize and Minimize the Menu Editor window that was present in earlier versions.
Do you open it via CTRL+SHIFT+S? Definitely works for me, and I don't think we changed anything related to that.
I'd like to see this made so that the list is dynamically generated (if it's not already). I installed a custom menu to the main menu bar, but it doesn't show up in Menu Editor. :/
We don't do this, since it's impossible to guarantee Menu Editor will work with arbitrary menus. In fact it's pretty likely to break given a menu from a random extension. Some amount of hacks is needed to make the menu work.
Alternatively, I'd like to see the option to add custom entries. Like the ability to add menus, submenus and menu items. That would be wonderful.
That's been requested.
Agreed. And to reorder the root-menu items in the menu-bar, make them disappear and put dynamic spacers in between. I have a full "del.icio.us" after "Help". And I would like to have "Help" right-aligned, the rest left-aligned. With a flex-spacer this should be possible.
I don't think we have a bug on this. Could you file one please?
Any news on the "Add Bookmark here...." conflict with FF2 ?
I don't remember anything about this conflict.

Where to file bug-reports for this extension (it's a feature-request actually, no ? )
And, do you mean you did not hear about this conflict at all ? ("Add Bookmark here..." makes FF2 crash, when adding a bookmark with it, after the bookmark menu got edited by MenuEditor. May be an "Add Bookmark here..." bug, but I wanted to know, what is going on with that.)

I don't recall hearing about this conflict. Certainly nothing about a crash (if you really mean a crash). If there isn't a bug filed about it, please file one, and I'll try to investigate when I have time.

Oops ? I thought you'd read it. It is on page 2 of this thread we are currently in
It definatly is a crash based on a conflict with the Add Bookmark here.... exntension and starts a Talkback session.
This is what Derfel and WildcatRay and me were talking about.

I've submitted the conflict with Add Bookmark Here to the Menu Editor bug database.
http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15720
I'm willing to provide any needed info to get this bug resolved. Otherwise, i'll have to stop using Add Bookmark Here, as Menu Editor is indispensable.

Tools -> Options -> Content -> Enable Javascript -&
I found that to install and have this extension work properly, in 'Tools -> Options -> Content -> Enable Javascript -> Advanced' the 'Allow scripts to:' 'Disable or replace context menu' checkbox needs to be checked. After MenuEdit 1.2.3 is installed and I have finished sorting out the different menus, I uncheck the 'Disable or replace context menu' box again, and so far everything has worked just fine.
If JavaScript is not allowed to change context menus under 'Tools -> Options' for the install and sorting then all sorts of problems crop up.
Dunno if this helps.

Is there a way to duplicate menu items so that I can have it in two places?
As far as I can tell now my only option is to move an item from one menu to another or hide it... I would love to be able to have an item appear on context menu as well as under Tools. (Particularly the "View Page Source" item)

Menu Editor freezes browser
Howdy asqueella! I too am devoted to Menu Editor! Sadly, I have encountered a glitch recently. ME 1.2.3 is freezing my right click context menu. If I right click on a link and select "open in new tab" (for example) everything is fine. BUT when I right click on an image or video to "save as" or "copy" the whole context menu is frozen... nothing will highlight/select. The whole browser stays frozen (can't "stop" or select other tabs) until I get a Warning saying "unresponsive script." I have to stop the script to unfreeze the browser.
I have tried copying and saving from the Edit Menu, but items are greyed out. I have disabled Session Manager/Saver from both FF2.0 and Tabs MixPlus. I have uninstalled all other menu editing extensions including Mr. Tech Local, all to no avail.
I love ME almost as much as I love saving images. I have searched the Help forums far and wide. Can you help me?
