Go to your Firefox Profile directory (for me it's C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3s1g687z.default) and open the chrome folder

Open the userChrome-example.css file (or userChrome.css if you've already edited it once before) and then cut and paste the following at the end of that file

/***** Menus and Context menus *****/

/* Hide Context Menuitems */

#context-back,

#context-forward,

#context-reload,

#context-stop,

#context-viewsource,

#context-openlink,

#context-openlinkintab,

#context-viewpartialsource-selection,

#context-selectall,

menuitem[label=View Background Image],

menuitem[label=Reload Tab],

menuitem[label=Reload All Tabs],

menuitem[label=Close Tab] { display: none !important; }

menuitem[label=Open],

menuitem[label=Open in New Tab],

menuitem[label=Expand],

menuitem[label=Manage Folder],

menuitem[label=New Folder...],

menuitem[label=Show Only This Frame],

menuitem[label=Open in New Window],

menuitem[label=JavaScript Console],

menuitem[label=Reload Frame],

menuitem[label=Bookmark This Frame...],

menuitem[label=Save Frame As...],

menuitem[label=View Frame Source],

menuitem[label=View Frame Info],

menuitem[label=Open Frame in New Window] { display: none; }

Obviously, remove the items from this list that you wish to remain in the context menu by putting a "#" in fron of them. Most extensions have their own context items too but they can generally switched off/edited via the specific extensions options.

Don't forget to rename the userChrome-exanple.css to userChrome.css for it to be active for your profile.

Hope this helps.
