Firefox bookmarks are a great comparison, because the bookmarks menu
isn't a context menu, it's a list menu.

Hi Markus,
I once was in a Lighting Talk which was describing some interface
research related to context. It was fascinating because it showed the
difference between nouns (applications) and verbs (run, delete,

That's like saying files shouldn't have context menus because you can do
[nearly] everything there by left-clicking in some form. Don't take this
personally, but it's a poorly thought out response.

My explanation would honestly be because the add-remove dialog is a pain to
use if I'm kind of in the middle of something else and I realize that I
really would prefer not to have application "x" sitting on my system.
The space required to store it isn't really what bothers me. My smallest

Hi all,
