Firefox for Android context menu editing
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.
Thanks for explaining!
Now I know it's almost like they're asking for me to uninstall their app!
Their app is an unresponsive heap of burning garbage anyway.
Easy solution, uninstall the app. The mobile website works just as well.
weirdly enough the mobile site actually works better. You cannot purchase movies or TV shows in the prime video app OR the Amazon shopping app. You can only do it on the mobile website.
I switched to just using the mobile website a while back and it's been a perfectly smooth transition. Never noticed a difference except a lack of some creepy vibes from the app lol
