Menu Editor is a Firefox add-on that allows you to remove or rearrange menu items from the main context menu (right-click menu) and main menu bar (File, Edit, View..). For a brief tutorial on using Menu Editor, keep reading..

1. Install Menu Editor the same way you would any other Firefox Add-on, and then restart Firefox. Once Firefox has restarted, select Tools and then Add-ons.



2. Scroll down to the Menu Editor entry, select it, and click the Preferences button.

3. The main Options window for Menu Editor will open.



4. To remove items from your right-click menu, just click the check mark next to that items entry, and the check mark will turn into a red X.



5. Scroll through the entire list and remove each item you don’t want to show up in your right-click context menu. If you notice ‘duplicates’, it’s because there are different right-click menus (one for right-clicking an image, one for right-clicking a link, one for right-clicking an empty space etc).



6. Now select File from the Edit menu: drop down list. From here you can remove items from the File menu.



7. Since I never use the Work Offline feature, I opted to remove it.



8. You shouldn’t have to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect, but if you don’t notice them right away, try restarting.
