How do I make my right click short again?

Before, when I used to right click anything (whether it be to copy, get URL link, etc), the right click menu would be short with just a few options, like cut, copy, past, reload, view background information, etc.

but today, when i right clicked something, i keep on getting the annoyingly long right click menu that has many ridiculous options, such as "save snapshot as", play, pause, mute, unmute, show controls, hide controls, (and possibly over 20 more).

I do not like this and want my short right-click menu bar. How can I do so?

Issues with a massive right-click context menu have been reported as caused by Firebug, so make sure to update Firebug to the latest version.

Probably caused by a faulty add-on.

i disabled firebug , session manager ,tile tabs and after restarting problem is gone. But after re-enabling them i see no problem. Strange. The last addon i had was a translation kind and i dont remember anyproblem.
