I used to be able to right click on a sentence or word and a list would come up that would enable me to capitalise all words or just the first letter, It ha van
when you right click on a sentence you get a square box which enables you to cut, copy, paste and a load of other things, before the last update it also had a facility where you could alter the case of the words, ie capitalize the first letter or make everything upper case or lower case as needed, after the update it has disappeared, could you tell me how to get it back, because I use it a lot
Chosen solution
I’m sorry, but changing the case of sentences has never been a default feature in Firefox’s context menu, neither in v 56, so it must be a legacy add-on, such as Convert Case ore Case Changer. That means the add-on will likely work again in Firefox 56.
If this is a reason to you to downgrade and miss the benefits Quantum has, see Install an older version of Firefox.
If you’d rather find a replacement for the no longer working add-on that will still work for v 57 and up due to WebExtensions compatibility, such as Title Case or Change Case, have a look here.

I expect you might be seeing disabled Legacy add-ons, or see that some of your add-ons were disabled after you updated to Firefox version 57. In Firefox 57, The WebExtensions API enables add-ons to be more secure and perform better with your browser. For more information, see Firefox add-on technology is modernizing.
Unfortunately not all add-ons were updated to this new standard. Visit http://arewewebextensionsyet.com/ to check if yours were updated. Mozilla also created a feature to help you find a replacement for your favorite add-on. Read more here.
To find replacements for your legacy add-on:
- Click the menu button
and choose Add-ons (or enter about:addons in a new tab).
- In the Add-ons Manager that opens, Click Legacy Extensions
- Click the Find a Replacement button next to your legacy add-on.
If a replacement doesn’t exist or isn’t helpful, please use this utility to find recommended alternatives. If you don’t find a suitable replacement, please head over to the add-ons forum for help. We expect legacy add-ons to continue migrating to the new WebExtensions standard, even if they missed the Firefox 57 release date.
There’s also a community-sourced list of alternatives on Google Docs.
Due to other changes in Firefox, Mozilla could not delay the switch to WebExtensions APIs. Mozilla Support volunteers are here to help you find alternatives to your favorite extensions. To start, use this utility to find recommended alternatives. If not, please head over to our forum to ask for help.
What add-ons are compatible in Firefox 57? You can search addons.mozilla.org for compatible extensions here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?tag=firefox57
How can I keep track of what add-ons are ready?
These are being tracked here: https://arewewebextensionsyet.com/
If you don’t see what you were looking for, let us know and we’ll look into it.
thank you for trying to help, but there are no add ons to do this job, I will just have to revert back to the old firefox
Yeah, just use an old version of Firefox. Remember to turn off automatic updates too.
