In the latest version of Firefox Nightly, a new tab context menu (the dropdown menu that appears when you right-click a tab for options) is under testing. The current version may appear cluttered and a bit bloated, but the upcoming UI refines it.

The updated context menu was initially spotted by BrenTech on YouTube.

If you’re interested in trying out this feature, you’ll need to make sure you’re on the latest version of Firefox Nightly (if you don’t have it installed already). The most recent update was on July 13, v154.0a1. Once done, open Firefox Settings and navigate to the Labs section.

At the bottom, you’ll find an option that says “Streamlined tab menu.” Toggle it on, and you can find the new menu in action.

For reference, the image below shows the current tab context menu in the stable version of Firefox. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but there are several options in the dropdown, and it can get cluttered for some people.

Now, take a look at the updated tab context menu in the Nightly version (image below). It has fewer options, looks cleaner, and some options have been removed. Firefox stable currently has 17 options in the dropdown menu, but the upcoming menu will reduce that to 14.

Upon observing the new menu, you’ll find that “Close duplicate tabs,” “Select all tabs,” and “Move tab” are no longer present.

Nightly is on v154, and the stable version is still in v152. So, it’ll take a while before the change eventually reaches general users. It’s worth noting that Firefox Nightly is mainly for developers/testers. It is not suitable for regular use due to its unstable and experimental nature.
