Firefox's right-click menu on macOS has become bloated with unnecessary options, prompting users to seek solutions through about:config settings. A fresh installation displays 26 menu items, including redundant AI chatbot options, multiple dividers, and submenus that overwhelm users. The author describes the cluttered interface as "holy fucking shit" and criticizes the lack of intuitive customization options for new users.

Through about:config modifications, users can disable numerous unwanted features. Settings like browser.translations.select.enable remove translation buttons, while screenshots.browser.component.enabled eliminates built-in screenshot functionality. Other toggles disable text fragments, accessibility inspectors, AI chatbots, link previews, OCR features, visual search, and form autofill capabilities. These changes reduce the menu from 26 to 15 items, though some useless options remain.

The cleanup process reveals Firefox's accessibility problem for new users. While power users can navigate about:config to remove unwanted features, the average person has no clear path to customize their experience. The author suggests Firefox implement a "Customize Toolbar"-style interface for right-click menus, making it easier for users to enable or disable specific options without diving into advanced settings or creating custom userChrome.css files.
