User reviews
It works really well, thankfully, speeding up the process that should be native to Firefox. But it has a real usability problem. By your choosing to not give it an icon --- any icon, even just a blank square --- it is easy to miss this option when invoking the context menu, especially for users who have a lot of context menu features added. It does not Left Justify like every other context menu option. ... I see that this was last updated in April 2022, and maybe dev had other software to attend to, which i can understand. But just this minor tweak would make it the perfect 5-star extension, and greatly improve intuitive usability. Thank you Will.
