How to disable Firefox "Open in new window" context menu item

I can't remember how many times I have accidentally clicked on "Open in New Window" when I meant to select "Open in new tab" when using Firefox. Finally irritated me enough to find a solution.

Locate C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\ Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. There should be two files: userChrome-example.css and userContent-example.css. Copy userChrome-example.css to a new file called userchrome.css and open it in a text editor.

Add the following lines to the end of the file:

/* Never show “Open in New Window” when right clicking */
#context-openlink {display: none !important;}

I also added this block to remove "Open in New Private Window":

/* Never show "Open in New Private Window" when right clicking */
#context-openlinkprivate { display: none !important; }




Now my Firefox context menu shows only "Open Link in New Tab":


Great!

Update: Line adapter for Ozito Blade Trimmer

Update (Dec 2021): If you access to a 3D printer, I would now recommend this solution , which makes it super easy to replace the trimmer line. I have been using it for a few months now with zero issue.

3D Printer Filament Joiner

I have been looking at various ways of joining 3D printing filaments. One method involves running one end of a filament through a short PTFE tubing, melting it with a lighter or candle, retracting it back into the tubing and immediately plunging the filament to be fused into the tubing: One problem with this method is that you can't really control the temperature at which you melt the filament, so you frequently end up with a brittle joint that breaks upon the slightest bend. Aliexpress even sells a contraption that works along the same line. As it uses a lighter or candle as well, it suffers from the same weakness. I am not even sure why you need a special contraption when a short PTFE tubing will work just as well. Another method involves using shrink tubing/aluminium foil, and a heat gun: But a heat gun is rather expensive, so I wanted to explore other alternatives. The candle + PTFE tubing method actually works quite well when you happen to melt it at the rig
