Feature Request: add shortcut on context menu and allow global cookie management over extension preference

[tiagoapimenta]

Motivation

If you do not have access to the unified extension icon it's not possible to control the cookies.

Use Case

• create a new empty directory $profile;
• create the sub-directory $profile/chrome;
• create the file $profile/chrome/userChrome.css with the following content:

#unified-extensions-button,
#unified-extensions-button > .toolbarbutton-icon {
  width: 0px !important;
  padding: 0px !important;
}

• create a file $profile/prefs.js with the following content:

user_pref('toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets', true);

• open Firefox using this profile firefox - profile "$profile";
• add the extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/flag-cookies/

Current Behavior

The extensions became useless

Expected Behavior

Being able to right click anywhere on the page and having a shortcut sub-menu item that would spawn the same popup on unified extensions icon.

Being able to access the page about:addons and click over the ellipsis and having a Preference sub-menu which we could control all cookies globally regardless the page, such as accessing the page moz-extension://01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef/cookies.html (getting the uuid from about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox) directly, that current doesn't work.

For both behaviours I recommend making something similar to NoScript Security Suite.

Information

Since there will be some changes in regards of browser storage management as another, bigger, feature - this option will not yet be added - but might be in the future. I leave this open for now.
