Recently moved from Windows XP to Windows 8.1. Used to be able to access the Firefox options tab via a context menu by right-clicking the icon in my Start Menu without having to open the browser window, which was useful for selectively deleting cookies, etc, after a browsing session.

Is this functionality still possible in Windows 8.1? If so, how? Or is this just another Windows 8 annoyance?

Thanks.
