Bug 1365868 has gained a patch for a basic context menu, but there's more work to be done.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1365868 +++

Things that work at the moment and won't work automatically after switching to GeckoView:
- context menus
- context menu entries added by add-ons
- "Open Link in New (Private) Tab" opens a new tab in Firefox and shows the usual snackbar - pressing the "Switch" button on that then switches to our normal BrowserApp-based UI to show that tab (I guess bug 1365868 won't support opening the tab in background without switching to Firefox?)
- "Parent tab" functionality: Pressing the back button on a normal tab that was opened from a custom tab/web app closes that tab again and returns to the original custom tab/web app activity. (This might already work with the patches for bug 1365868 if the new tab is treated as an externally opened tab?)
[triage0913] + as P1 as we still expect a better implementation of it.

We won't have time, but I think Nevin added a minimal impl in bug 1409296
