The 44.0b1 update disabled and took away the right click element properties add-on again. How do I get it back?
Right clicking on a link used to bring up a choice called "properties". Several years ago, a FireFox update removed that ("properties") and an add-on had to be installed to restore it. The latest FireFox update, named 44.0b1, disabled the restorative add-on and removed the "properties" choice from the right click box again. Now, what is to be done? My Operating System: Windows XP

@james OMG, how did I end up testing new versions? I know nothing about coding, testing, etc....!!
A Release version would not update to a Beat version so perhaps you downloaded what was actually a Beta build of a version at some point and continued to use it since.
To use current Firefox 43 Release download it from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all

So, now what's a person to do? FireFox 3.6 was a long, long time ago. I'm wondering why it's never been restored in the browser it's self after all this time...? Why is an add-on needed? I use that right-click to look at "properties" so often, by reflex, now I'm stupefied everytime I click and nothing is there, LOL.

The install.rdf file of the extension shows a strictCompatibility flag and the maxVersion as 43.0
<em:strictCompatibility>true</em:strictCompatibility>
<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>18.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>43.*</em:maxVersion>
It looks that there is a change with the service loaded via this file:
- resource://gre/modules/LoadContextInfo.jsm
/**
* This jsm is here only for compatibility. Extension developers may use it
* to build nsILoadContextInfo to pass down to HTTP cache APIs. Originally
* it was possible to implement nsILoadContextInfo in JS. But now it turned
* out to be a built-in class only, so we need a component (service) as
* a factory to build nsILoadContextInfo in a JS code.
*/
this.EXPORTED_SYMBOLS = ["LoadContextInfo"];
this.LoadContextInfo = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/load-context-info-factory;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsILoadContextInfoFactory);
Version 10 Released December 8, 2015 97.6 kB Works with Firefox 18.0 - 43.*
Firefox 43 is the current Release on www.mozilla.org/firefox/all as not every Extension author supports development channel builds including Beta, Aurora (aka developers edition) and Nightly. You are Testing the first of the Beta builds for Firefox 44.0
@cor-el, I'm so sorry, but you'll have to hold my hand and walk me through that last post. It's all gibberish to me, I have no idea what it means. LOL!
