Is there an add-on to put `close this tab' on the right click drop down?

While I know `close this tab' appears in the dropdown when you click ON the tab (which is sort of ridiculous when you could just click on the tab's `X'), but the same `close this tab' doesn't appear on the dropdown when you right click somewhere in the middle of the window

My question is this : Is there an add-on which puts the phrase where it's really needed - namely when you right click somewhere IN the window, so you don't have to maneuver the mouse to the tab itself or do the keyboard close?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Frebe.

There is indeed. Try Menu Editor. Using it has many advantages, of course, since you can change the place of pretty much everything, and hide menu items and whole menus if you want, but what you'll want to do is to move the "Close this tab" from the one menu to another.

If you need help using the extension (it's not really THAT intuitive), I'll help.
