User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0
Steps to reproduce:
On macOS: Select any text in a browser tab. Right click to open context menu. Select "Services" menu item. It lists (between others) "Show in Finder" and "Show info window in Finder".
Actual results:
Selecting these entries does nothing (as expected).
Expected results:
These entries shouldn't be present in the services menu. They are because FF falsely announces that it provides data for other apps to use. If it can only send text via the pasteboard services, it shouldn't advertise other data.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This isn't quite accurate. If you select a string such as /Applications/Firefox.app, these services do indeed work. It isn't really predictable which strings will be understood by these services, so it isn't easily possible to only show these menu entries if the service would in fact be able to do something with the selected string.

I now see that Chrome and Safari behave identically. Please close this "bug", sorry for the inconvenience.
