When right-click on a link, "open link in new tab" appears as the 2nd after "open link in new window" with the old versions. Now in Firefox 4, it reversed; which is annoying and inconvenient. Is there a way to change it back? Thanks.

4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"

5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!


I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.
