The ability to close the tab on the right should not be a submenu.

When it became version 78.0.2, the menu to close the tab on the right side was gone and I was very confused. As a result, it was pushed into the submenu. I've been using Firefox because it has a menu to close the tab on the right, but if I can't immediately access this feature, I should consider switching browsers. Please move this menu from sub to main as soon as possible.

Chosen solution

The main reason for moving the Close Tab items to a sub menu was because of reports that some users accidentally misclicked in the context menu which could lead to data loss.

The unfortunate side effect is that users who use this feature frequently will now have to click in the sub menu to close multiple tabs in Firefox 78+.

Thank you for your response. It is inevitable. I think it's inconvenient for a lot of users, but I'll do it by installing the extension.
