Tips and FAQ

Tips

You can customise or uninstall the radial menu in Tools->Extensions->RadialContext.
The fastest way to use the menu is to keep the right mouse button pressed, drag over the target item, and release the button.
By holding Ctrl, you can suppress the radial menu and access the normal one.
Holding Alt will activate a different behaviour for items marked with an A. You can also drag to the target item, keeping the mouse pressed, and left-click it to access the alt-funtionality.
For a fast way to browse a number of images, uncheck 'Select new tabs opened from links' in 'Tools->Options->Advanced'. You can then use the radial menu to load all images in different tabs and browse them by closing the tabs.
With some basic knowledge of JavaScript, you can change or extend the functionality of the menu by editing rcLayout.js .

How do I uninstall the RadialContext menu?
You can uninstall it at: Tools->Extensions. If it isn't there you'll have installed a version intended for Firefox 0.8 to Fx 0.9. To access the options, which include an Uninstall button, you'll have to install the Show Old Extensions extension.
Is the extension open source?
Yes. The RadialContext menu is available under a BSD license. If you installed it, you already have the sources on your hard disk.
Can't the menu stay in place?
With menu menu following the mouse, you don't have to hit an item as in a normal menu. You can just drag to the appropriate direction. It is possible to do this blind and very fast. To close the menu, just click into the middle.
How about previewing submenus?
I've tried this at first. And the resulting display is just an unreadable, horrible mess.
Can't the parent menu stay visible?
I've tried this at first. And the resulting display is just an unreadable, horrible mess.
Could you add an item for the parent menu?
The space in the menu is very valuable, and re-opening the menu anew is as fast. Especially if you're making use of tip #2.
