缺少 Selenium IDE 上下文项

Question

I'm trying to get started with Selenium using a Lynda tutorial, and I can't get Selenium's context menu's items to appear (screenshot below).

Is there anything I'm missing, or that is incompatible? The only other solution on SO has no solution except a comment to roll back to an older version of Firefox.

• OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
• Java v8 update 121
• Firefox Developer Edition 53.0a2 (2017-02-09)
• Firefox 51.0.1
• Selenium IDE 2.9.1

In the screenshot below, you'll see the bottom divider line, below which should be the Selenium items.

Answer 1

Context menu items should be there without any additional actions as long as Selenium IDE is running.

I think one of the last FireFox updates broke some Selenium IDE features. For example Select and Find buttons stopped working for me recently. They will probably fix it but I can not say when it'll happen.

If you really want to get those right-click options, I suppose you could install older FireFox version.

The other option is probably to try and finds way around it (but this may be a notable departure from the tutorial). For example you can click on the object to record it as a simple click and then edit Command part to get whatever you desire. That's just a sample of editing Selenium IDE command
