Have you noticed that the Properties Command has been removed from the Context Menu in Firefox 3.6? If you have been missing it here is how to get it back.

Before

With the newest version of Firefox you may have noticed a very useful command missing from the “Context Menu”. Here you can see that when we right clicked on the article link we were unable to “access” the properties for it…

Same article and the same problem when trying to “access” the properties for one of the images.

After

Once you have installed the extension you can once again “access” the properties for those links…

And those images…

Looking very good…

Conclusion

If you have been frustrated with the removal of the “Properties Command” from the “Context Menu” in Firefox 3.6, you can now add it back in just a few moments.
