I guess our current behavior (showing this menu) was as-requested in bug 1015163, and in this bug here, I'm effectively suggesting that we reconsider the tradeoffs of showing vs. hiding this menu-button, given that the menu is mostly irrelevant for the popup window.  (And I think we're the only browser that shows any toolbar buttons at all outside-of/taking-space-from the URLbar, in popup windows.)

It looks like the motivation in bug 1015163 comment 0 was for menu access to "Print" and "Save".   As it turns out, other browsers (Chrome/Edge and Safari) do offer menu access to "Print" and "Save" for popups, via the context-menu. Whereas we only offer "Save" in the context menu, with no context-menu-based way to "Print" currently.

So: if we were to take action here, we might want to consider adding a context-menu "print" option first. *shrug*
