How can I place "open link in new window" on top, where it always used to be?

Firefox 4 has changed the order in which a right click on a link will bring up "Open Link in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window." While some may appreciate this, I don't. How can I get back to the traditional order in which "Open Link in New Window" is on top of the list?

Believe me, I hated it too, but I've gotten used to it now. You can do most things in Firefox, but changing the order of menus is not one of them I'm afraid.

Not what I wanted to hear but thanks for the info.

You're welcome.

Firefox 5.0 is slated for release on June 21. Maybe they'll rearrange it again. ;)
