110614 - Keep the context menus to a reasonable length

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 75338

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Brien]

I created a bug last week asking for a new option to the context menu (bug 
110041) and one of the replies was
"for sanity's sake, please keep the context menus to a reasonable length!"

Which is reasonable, since there are already 21 (!) options for a link within a 
frame within a tab (and that's not counting options for images).

So, I suggest taking a look at the way the context menu works, and perhaps 
redesigning it, removing less-commmonly used features, or reusing real-estate 
when options are disabled. Perhaps a quad-menu style context menu would be nice!

Or, make it possible to configure the context menus, so that the user can, for 
example, remove all options relating to tabs if they never use them, or remove 
the back and forward options, since they are already in the main toolbar. I 
personally never use the info options or composer, so it would be nice to be 
able to disable those options and reduce the size of the context menu.

Whatever, this is a meta bug for preventing users being overwhelmed by far too 
many options.
