The extension context menu now has a 'Configure...' command that opens the settings editor for an extension's settings. This is great, but the name 'Configure...' is not clear:

Suggest to use 'Extension Settings' (without ... since the command does not require further input).

This is also consistent with the gear menu:

It used to be Configure Extension Settings and I changed it to simplify. But if it is not clear I would prefer moving it back to what it was before.

@sandy081 this is better. Since the main purpose of settings is to change them and to use them for configuration I don't think verb 'Configure' is needed.

We also do not use 'Configure Settings' and 'Configure Online Services Settings' in the gear menu, we just use 'Settings' and 'Online Services Settings':
