With the latest 57 update, all right click to close tab plugins(Tab utilities/right_click_close) has been outdated and disabled, is there a way or a plugin that allows me to adjust the setting to close the tab by right click on it?

I know i can use the X button and keyboard shortcut, just get used to close it with right click...

I have no addon/Extension ever and I can Right Click and I have 10 options. Including close the tab.

If you do not then possible remains of stuff hanging about.

Uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0 with a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

I know I can close via options in right click menu, what I really want is to close directly by right click on tab instead of showing me the menu
