When right clicking on an empty area of the tab bar, I get a context menu to select which toolbars I want to show or to customise Firefox's layout. As I recall (and my muscle memory seems to agree) this used to bring up the tab context menu instead, allowing me to re-open closed tabs and the like. Is there any way to restore this functionality?

The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox version (you can place toolbar buttons on it) and right clicking on empty space will open the toolbar context menu.
You need to right-click a tab to get the Tab context menu.
