• Is it still safe to download Firefox via Mozilla FTP?

  As recommended by privacyguides.org, I'm trying to avoid that download token from the main link. I'm jw if those files on the FTP are just as safe/secure & all the same w/o the token still. Also, will I get one from future updates... Source: over 3 years ago

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
