User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • Add option to enable/disable individual extension items from Firefox's context menus within about:preferences.
  • Please note, that this issue is NOT a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1702129 because 1702129 is about macOS native menus, and this issue is about Windows context menus.

Actual results:

  • Can't enable/disable extensions items from Firefox's context menus (except if extension itself supports this option)

Expected results:

  • Extension items should be optional within Firefox's context menus.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'WebExtensions::Untriaged' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Product: Firefox → WebExtensions

This is such a niche case that it's unlikely for an item to be added to about:preferences. If anything, about:addons would be a more appropriate place.

Bug 1702129 is relevant: it mentions the work-around that users can already use (userChrome.css), and also emphasizes that the work-around does not work on macOS.

Similar to bug 1370735, an about:config flag can be considered for this level of customizability.
