A new Firefox release, a new reminder that Firefox hasn't implemented native context menus in macOS for 20 years.
- macinjosh 7y agoIt is open source. If you want that feature so badly you've had 20 years to implement it and submit a patch.

- OJFord 7y agoI reckon it's the only thing I use on macOS that even has a context menu. What's wrong with it? Or is it just that it doesn't look like those in... whatever you're using that also has them (Numbers.app et al. maybe?)?
- ken 7y agoLiterally every other application on my Mac. I don't know of any Mac applications that don't have a useful context menu. Even if you ignore Firefox's weird horizontal menu items, it looks wrong, and it acts wrong. The dividers have a non-standard color. Some menu items have tooltips. One item has an icon, and it doesn't highlight correctly. When dismissed, the menu disappears sharply instead of fading out. (To add insult to injury, the menu doesn't even use the system language. There's some internal setting that nobody can find which causes it to use Japanese even though my system and Firefox prefs are all set to English.) The position is wrong, too. I'm used to dragging one pixel to the right, but that's not far enough to highlight the first item in Firefox. Many keyboard shortcuts are missing, e.g., the common ways to jump to the top/bottom item (home/end, cmd-up/down) don't work.

- chrnad 7y agoTry MaterialFox (https://github.com/muckSponge/MaterialFox https://github.com/muckSponge/MaterialFox). It smooths out many of the rough edges that make Firefox feel a bit clunky on macOS.
