Details

(Whiteboard: [mv3-m3][wecg])

contextMenus and menus are essentially the same, lets drop the menus namespace in favor of the compatible namespace.

Points: --- → 1

Apparently Safari also shipped menus, so maybe we try to get Chromium to adopt it instead of deprecating.

Whiteboard: [mv3-m3] → [mv3-m3][wecg]

Chrome doesn't want to remove the contextMenus namespace,
and Safari already supports menus and contextMenus, without a desire to remove either (for backcompat).

We will keep both namespaces around in Firefox.
