Hi.

I didn’t find it in the documentation.

Is there an option to create menu item in the tab context menu? Or is there a chance that such API will come out?

Thanks.

It is the same as other context-menu but with `contexts: ['tab']` (FF53+)

> **[menus.create()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/menus/create)**
>
> Creates a new menu item, given an options object defining properties for the item.

> **[menus.ContextType](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/menus/ContextType)**
