This got marked as a duplicate of bug 1280347, but it sounds from my understanding that 1280347 didn't end up covering everything that this bug wanted to have covered. 

If I understand correctly, 1280347 allowed extensions to include the context menu additions that other installed extensions have created.

This bug, as originally filed wanted to also provide access to the browser's native context menu entries so that things like Send Tab To Device can be done without having to wait for bug 1417183 to add a webextension api that webextensions can use to duplicate that functionality.

Is there any chance we could reopen this bug to handle that original request?

Edit: My reason for bumping this is that I'm a heavy user of Tree Style Tabs, and I'd love to be able to hide the native tab strip (preferably with bug 1332447's eventual API, but userChrome.css would be just as acceptable in the immediate future) to cut down on visual clutter and redundancy with my better-organized sidebar, but it's the only place to easily get to the Send Tab to Device option for arbitrary tabs. If at least parts of the native context menu (specifically Send Tab To Device and its sub-menu listing the devices) could be pulled in to Tree Style Tab's customized context menu, I could freely hide the now-fully-redundant(-for-me) tab strip.
