Menu Editor 1.2.7 tab context menu editing problem

[alanbaxter]

Edit: Turns out this is a conflict with the Tab Mix Plus extension.

Edit2: Conflict occurs only in Fx 3.6.15. It does not occur in Fx 4.0 RC1.

Starting with Menu Editor 1.2.7, I'm unable to edit the Tab Context Menu. If I click on the green check mark for a menu item, e.g. Reload Tab, it turns to a red X as expected. I then apply the change with Apply or OK, but Reload Tab still appears in the tab context menu. This problem does not occur if I use Menu Editor 1.2.6.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15

Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce this problem in a new profile which has only Menu Editor 1.2.7 installed. It appears to be a conflict with one of my other 61 extensions which I haven't been able to resolve yet. Here's the message that appears in the Error Console whenever I click the Apply or OK button:
menuedit: unexpected exception. dev. info follows:

Is there something that can be fixed in Menu Editor or should I just stay with version 1.2.6?

I am having the exact same problem on Firefox 3.6.15.

It would be helpful to know for sure if it's a conflict with another extension

In the mean time, the best work around would be to use 1.2.6 with Firefox 3.6.x
but switch to 1.2.7 when and if you upgrade to Firefox 4
(the tab context menu doesn't work at all with 1.2.6 and Firefox 4)

The conflict is with Tab Mix Plus. The problem occurs if I disable all my extensions except Tab Mix Plus and Menu Editor 1.2.7. It works properly if I disable Tab Mix Plus. Tested with both the release version of TMP and the latest dev build, i.e.
tab_mix_plus-0.3.8.5
tab_mix_plus-0.3.8.6pre.110311a
Using TMP default settings.

Edit: The conflict disappears in Fx 4.0 RC1. (Only tested with the TMP dev build, the one I'll use after Fx 4.0 is released.)

I also think the conflict is with Tab Mix Plus. actually TMP seems to override the menus defined by Menu Editor. only whatever is defined by TMP is displayed, everything done by MEd is ignored.

in the MEd options window, there are two entries for Tab Context Menu shown. if both are un-ticked visible, the entire tab-bar vanishes. and does not come back untill both of them are ticked visible again and firefox restarted.

i looked into the menuedit.rdf file too for the first time ... it is a mess ... there are entries for extensions which i uninstalled years back though they do not show up in the options window of MEd.

Thanks. Good news: the conflict does not seem to occur in Fx 4.0 RC1.

for me there is a small conflict in FF4.
all works, including moving the items, accept I can't show the "Move to New window" in the main context menu. "Duplicate to New Window" and other entries work though.
