What am I calling a modern context menu?

It's a context menu with a first line ribbon made of only icons, then followed by normal text entries. (Maybe there's another name for this idk)

You already have one in Firefox when right clicking an empty area :

My idea is to make this kind of context menu EVERYWHERE (when it makes sense), reasons :

  • More compact
  • Faster to use
  • Sexier

For example the context menu of a tab may look like this :

And there's many more menus that could be rethinked with this idea in mind, text selection, image, link...

The inconsistent design of menus has been pointed out in other ideas. This problem has not been resolved for a long time.

This really needed FF should consider it ASAP.

Make the right click menu prettier

It is ugly and looks like it belongs to a 10 year old OS. Please change it to something modern like Edge or Safari

This is a really good idea! This would make the menu less cluttered. Having an editing-feature would still give the possibility for changing it back, but this should not be a focus.

@dec not very helpful comment, what is ugly about it? I find it looking very modern and want to state something important

 

DONT GO THE OFFICE WAY. Microsoft office and other apps are horrible, as their context menus change all the time, depending on what you click. This makes no sense often.

 

Simply remove elements, add icons, change things to wellknown icons, thats it.

I would also suggest something like "more used options". Maybe, AI powered predictor.

For example, when I "right click" on videos (some sites) I get around of 17 options; currently, my "most used" option is at the 15 position.

Thank you, in advance.

I don't really like it. Icons may look visually nicer but they are confusing. Words are clear what they mean.

The word "Paste" clearly means pasting something you've copied.

A Paintbrush icon isn't really clear what it does. Microsoft Office has a lot of icons for Paste and every time I need to hover over each icon to figure out what each Paintbrush icon means.
