How do I prevent mozilla.org from changing my context menu?
On developer.mozilla.org, the context menu has been changed to put Edit and View Change History at the top. I keep accidentally hitting Edit because it's where Back used to be, and I use right-click Back to navigate, from long habit.
How do I prevent Mozilla.org from changing my context menu? dom.event.contextmenu.enabled=false doesn't have any effect.

This was bothering me so much, I made the effort to backport the Chromium build environment from Ubuntu 12 to Oracle Enterprise 6. Now I just use Chromium LKGR and refresh and build it every month.
Problem solved.

That context menu is created via the HTML5 menu and menuitem tags.
<body data-slug="Mozilla/Developer_Program" contextmenu="edit-history-menu" class="html-ltr document zone zone-landing"> <menu type="context" id="edit-history-menu"> <menuitem data-action="$edit" label="Edit page"></menuitem> <menuitem data-action="$history" label="View page history"></menuitem> </menu>
I don't thinks that you can do much about this.
Maybe if I made a bunch of accidental edits, they'd move it down.
I've been trying to use a custom Adblock rule to filter out the menu block, but apparently that gets applied too late to take effect. Something like Privoxy might be required, which is disappointing.
This will probably remain unconfigurable in Firefox until somebody somewhere writes some malicious code to abuse it, then we'll get an option like "dom.event.contextmenu.enabled=false_no_really_I_meant_it"

For those of us who don't typically compile web browsers from scratch (because... no), is the LKGR for a bog-standard Windows environment available anywhere?
Yes, and it is delicious. http://chromium.woolyss.com/
Woot, thank you!
