Android, context menu

more options

Hello

I am writing to report a problem with the context menu in Firefox for Android. I am very dissatisfied with how it is designed and I would like to have more control over it.

First of all, there are too many options from other apps that I do not use, which clearly take up space and I want to remove them, but I cannot. They are irrelevant to my browsing experience and they clutter the menu.

Secondly, I do not like that despite the bulkiness of the context menu, it only displays 2-3 items, and to get to the one I need, I have to scroll through the menu several times, which is extremely inconvenient. For instance, I often want to copy text, but this option is hidden at the bottom of the menu. It would be much easier if it were visible at the top or have the ability to build the context menu for my needs.

In other words, there is a bulky and inconvenient menu, which also has unnecessary and annoying options that I cannot do anything about, because apparently, the ability to customize and change the context menu is removed in the Android version.

Can you attach a screenshot? From this description, it doesn't look like my menu.

No problem. As you can see, i've got a lot of unneeded options in context menu, also there is "bar page", which contains only 1 option.

Mine looks like this:

I don't think you can do anything about it, except of uninstalling these apps.

It seems like the main problem lies in the system's interface and possibly in the Chrome interface (since Firefox is based on the Chrome). And i should try changing the system's default context menu or modifying it in Chrome (but it is unlikely, the Chrome's context menu is slightly different) to solve this problem. A pity, that's Firefox didn't provide its browser with its own context menu like Opera, otherwise it'd be the top browser for Android.
