The Page actions menu is going away completely.
Interesting. I liked it. Any pointers to the bug or discussion thread
about this design change?

I understand Firefox 88 removes Screenshot form the Page Actions
menu and turns it into a right click option. Not sure why, as this
isn't easier for end users.
Also, if you're going to clean up the Page Actions menu, get rid of
the "Bookmark this page" and "Save to Pocket" since both of these
are available from the icons directly to the right of the Page
Actions icon. This has always been silly.
If I were in charge, I'd remove the bookmarks and pocket options and
leave the screenshot where it is, since there is zero reason to move
it and just gives another thing for end users to learn (and most of
them will just think the screen shot ability has been removed).
The UI should be as frictionless as possible. This adds more
friction (right click is different than left click) and forces the
end user to learn something new for absolutely now net benefit.
If Firefox was a car, this is the same as moving the emergency brake
handle to inside the glove compartment - no good reason to do it,
less intuitive, and more work.
Sometimes a new version doesn't need to change stuff.
