Recently Amazon, I suppose their app, added a search item to my context menu, which is quite a nuisance. Other apps have as well, such as DeepL and Wikipedia, but I believe those have a valid use case without too much of a commercial interest. Is there a way to remove items from the context menu without removing the related app?

    It’s the Amazon app. I noticed the same after I installed the app too.

    Note it is an android system wide context menu, not a Firefox menu. If you long press in text in other apps you’ll get the same menu.

    I can’t see any options to turn this off in android. Apparently the app doesn’t even need permission to interfere with the system wide context menu in that way.

    Is there any benefit for using the app over the site? I stopped using Amazon, but when I did use, the site seemed to work just fine.
