If you’ve recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6 and have lost the “Properties” context menu item (found by right-clicking on a page element), you may be wandering if something broke during the upgrade.
Nope. Apparently, this move was intentional.
I don’t know about you, but I use that properties link about 30 times a day to check 2 key bits of information that aren’t as easy to check without it…
- Whether a link uses the rel=”nofollow” attribute.
- The exact dimensions of an image.
What in the world is Mozilla thinking with this one? Who knows.
The good news is I found a plugin that will restore the properties link to your context menu. If the comments and download count on that plugin are any indication, it seems I’m not alone in my reliance on the properties menu item.
Nuts. I use it too. It must have been an oversight on their part. Or maybe they figured it was best to have a plugin for it. I am still on 3.3.9 I think and still have the menu item.
