Every now and then I do this. I see a picture and think, that would be fun in my wallpaper folder. I right click the image and click, "Save Image As..." Right below that option is, "Email Image..." Every now and then a little tick of my hand or finger, and I end up selecting the E-mail option. This is automatically set up to connect to Windows Excel. I don't use Windows Excel. I don't even have it installed. I don't want it installed. The computer freezes for a bit and finally gives up and tells me something about the program not being installed or set up properly or whatever. I've forgotten what it said. Anyway, afterwards, the right-click "Save Image As..." and possibly other options don't work until after I reboot the computer. I will NEVER right click an image to e-mail it. I do that from my mail program. How do I remove the option from the right-click menu. I tried looking it up, and found a lot of related stuff but they proved unhelpful.

I use code in userChrome.css to hide some of items that I do not use.
You can find IDs in this file:

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
Make sure there isn't a comma before the '{'.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

/* contextmenu - hide */
#context-sendimage,
#context-sendaudio,
#context-sendvideo,
#context-setDesktopBackground {display:none !important}

It is not that difficult to create userChrome.css if you have never used it.

The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.

You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a plain text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this userChrome.css text file you paste the text posted. On Mac you can use the TextEdit utility to create the userChrome.css file as a plain text file.

In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userChrome.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".

You need to close (Quit/Exit) and restart Firefox when you create or modify the userChrome.css file.

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
