  All the freaking time?

    A lot of these are extensions that are folded into the main Firefox feature set, experimental features or not even related to the browser?

      Pocket’s dead now.

      Like another user said, where’s “open image in new tab”?

      Remember XUL extensions and real browser themes?

      Remember when you didn’t need a developer account to make extensions and you could distribute them via your own website?

      But of course, Firefox never takes away choices that were previously offered.

        Didn’t people generally hate pocket’s forced integration? Anyways I’ve never said that they’ve never removed features nor was disagreeing that what you said isn’t generally true. It’s just that the list posted has a lot of examples that aren’t exactly a removal of a Firefox feature which hurts the argument being made. There’s more than enough reasons as you mentions to make a case for it.

        Like another user said, where’s “open image in new tab”? (I notice you didn’t reply to them.)

        I don’t see where’s the relevance in pointing out that I didn’t reply to another user’s post when I’m in agreement with them.

        “Open image…” is still there. If you’re not seeing it anymore, it’s sites taking it away from you. (I notice you didn’t check before getting outraged.)

  The “open image in new tab” context menu option, off the top of my head, it has been 1000 small things with them.

    Since when is “open image” gone for you? Are you sure it’s not the site blocking you? Many do that these days, but FF still has the option. There are some addons that can circumvent sites trying to block you (part of the functionality of addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/search_by_image/ for instance)

      I partially misremembered, it was “View Image” and I updated the above post with details.

    Actually now that I checked my Firefox, it’s still there? I’m on version 147.

      My bad, I misremembered, it was “View Image”, “Open Image in New Tab” was what Mozilla claimed was the solution in the bug tracker. It was removed in v88

  This happened quite often for various UI settings etc. Often there were technical reasons for removing the option (e.g. rewrites), but it is a real thing.
