[Mozilla Enterprise] Removing screenshot from Page Actions

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.
