Context menu improvement
Posted: 2019-06-14, 11:50
Here's a "bug report" as in "I delete some Palemoon files and then it does not work as I want it" bug
But still it can be improved I think, probably it's just an "if" statement in the UI menu generation or something. Anyway.
How to break it: go to C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\browser\searchplugins and delete everything inside. I do this because I do not want the auto-search to "help me" when I mistype a URL in the Palemoon address bar. This way it works -- the malformed URL goes nowhere and I simply correct it. When there is no "default search engine" there is no "default" (i.e. unwanted) searching.
What breaks is the right-click menu, you know, the one starting with "Open Link in New Tab" etc. and ending with "Inspect Element (Q)". This menu becomes huge, with all kind of options like "Copy video location" etc. That is for any content, I click on a link and it offers me to "Pause" among others. My problem is that "Copy Link Location" option disappears and I cannot check where links lead to before opening.
When there is at least one search engine defined I see menu option "Search DuckDuckGo for "abc". Perhaps that is where it breaks when there's unexpected DuckDuckGo==null.
Feel free to ignore if that's not what you want to fix. Thank you for all your work anyway and have a great day!
