Menu Wizard
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
So glad to find this add-on to use in place of Menu Editor, as ME is no longer signed and thus unavailable with FF 50. But Menu Wizard is even more versatile, and (mostly) a lot easier to use due to the intuitive split-screen drag 'n drop for reordering commands, as well as the check boxes for removing unwanted commands. And it's SO useful to be able to save the settings once it is set up. After I got everything set up the way I wanted on one computer, I just saved the settings, copied the settings file to my other computer, loaded it, and, voila, everything was instantly replicated on my second computer!
A few suggestions for improvements to make this great add-on even better: (1) Explain the meaning and use of the various types of separators and what their odd labels mean (although I was able to pretty much just ignore them); and (2) Make it clear that the request to allow advertising is only one-time request. I originally uninstalled the add-on, thinking I would frequently see the request, but then saw the developer's reply to another reviewer explaining that it is one-time only. (I did make a well-deserved donation for the add-on.)
Also, on the first of the two computers I put this on, for some reason the main context-menu navigation/bookmark buttons show up *to the right* of the command I moved to appear immediately *below* them, thus widening the menu. It's odd that the buttons didn't just stay at the very top instead. On my second computer that issue did not occur. (I am not submitting this as a bug report since I rarely use the main context-menu navigation/bookmark buttons, so I just unticked them in the computer that has that problem.)

Just what I was looking for -- something clean and simple that lets you highlight a word, right click, and then with a single additional click get a comprehensive definition. And in this case that source is the excellent Dictionary.com. Clean, simple, effective. One tiny nitpick is that it would be nice to choose the order that the selected sources (e.g., dictionary vs. thesaurus) show up in the context menu, but I was able to do this anyway with the Menu Editor add-on. Thanks!

Perfect! Does just what I want as the default, but allowing for easy customization after clicking that unobtrusive little icon. Thanks so much.
