undo the change in the right-click menu
I just upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, and there's one change that is driving me crazy. In the old version, "open in a new tab" was the second choice in the right-click menu. In the new version, t's the top choice! I find myself opening a new window over and over again, when I just want to add a tab!!! It's frustrating. I know I'd get used to it eventually, but if there's a way to re-order the right-click menu it would save a lot of frustration!

You can change the order of the items using this add-on:
You need to update the following:
- Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152
- Check your plugin versions on either of the following links':
- http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
- Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
- Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
- If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "Download and information" or "Download Manual installers" below
- After download is complete, exit Firefox
- Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
- Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
- Download and information: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
- Use Firefox to go to the above site to update the Firefox plugin (will also install plugin for most other browsers; except IE)
- Use IE to go to the above site to update the IE ActiveX
- Download Manual installers.

- Note separate links for:
- Plugin for Firefox and most other browsers
- ActiveX for IE
A different approach can be found in this post:
Context menu - why "open in new window" is second and "open in new tab" is the first? In FF3.x there is reversed.
