Context menus have gotten too long, which is an annoyance for advanced users, and an impediment to  novice users who just want to quickly find and use a small set of options.

Currently, hiding options is possible only with `userChrome.css`, which is considered a "legacy" feature by Firefox and is too complicated for most users.

Also, when developers do remove or hide one of the context menu items by default (such as `browser.menu.showViewImageInfo`), users get confused and frustrated. It'd be better to let each user customize the menus the way they want. Every item already has a unique ID, so this is possible.

I would love to see this! Let's limit messing with aboug:config.

My context menu has a scroll bar. If you click on a hyperlinked image, scrolling gets stuck on 'open in new container tab' and you cannot scroll up to 'open in new tab'.

That's a fairly ridiculous state of affairs.

Most of the current context menu options are unused.

Completely backwards from a few years ago when it was easy to modify your context menus with various addons.

I’d really love to see this. There needs to be an option to customize the context menu.
