1470624 - Have context menu show Mac Services menu

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 660452

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

Description

[Brett Zamir]

Please allow the right-click context menu in Firefox to show Services as a context menu. After selecting an item in context, one expects a context menu to be immediately at hand; it is cumbersome to have to go up to the menu bar to get accesses to the Services.

This is really a dupe of Bug 1133368 , but since that was mistakenly marked as a dupe, I have added this issue.

I think bug 1133368, comment 7 is incorrect. The summary of bug 104331 is "Add items to Services menu on Mac OS X". The description says there should be an Open URL item _at least_. That is followed by a lengthy ongoing discussion about what should and shouldn't be in the menu. I think it is indeed a duplicate of bug 104331 and so is this.

No, those are talking about adding items to the Services Menu.  The Services Menu currently appears in Firefox under Firefox -> Services. This feature request is about adding it to the *context menu* as in the right-click activated context menu...

Services in the context menu seems like a native convention on macOS. Safari does this, for example. I agree, we should probably do it too. I think we'd definitely take patches if someone wanted to take a crack at this.

This is still a dupe, just not of that bug. Either bug 660452 or bug 1284890. I don't know if implementing this in either widget or frontend is going to be more sensible, but either way, no point having a 3rd bug open.
