Checked the Shift+F10 to check this context menu on Windows version, that works fine on FF29 and FF30 Win7

This Firefox-specific feature has been removed. See Bug 435164 for the standard keyboard shortcut on OS X.

Is there any way to re-enable this shortcut? The built-in mechanism in Mac OS X doesn't work exactly the same. Here's one of my workflows that won't work anymore in Firefox 30.

1. hit F6 to focus current tab
2. ctrl+space to bring up the context menu for the tab
3. start typing "pin tab"
4. hit enter when the "pin tab" menu item is focused

The reason it's not working the same is that the OS assumes you want a context menu where the mouse pointer is (usually in the view port area of a web page), whereas CTRL+SPACE worked with the currently focused UI element.
