See attached screenshot.

We use 'Selected' for 'Reload Selected Tabs' and 'Close Selected Tabs', but all other multiselect-friendly menuitems don't use 'Selected' ('Mute Tabs', 'Pin Tabs', Move Tabs'). The context menu is already context-specific, meaning that the actions would only apply to the selected tabs if one of the tabs in the selection is right-clicked on.

We should remove 'Selected' from the tab context menu entries. We should keep 'Selected' in the toolbar context menu entry for 'Bookmark Selected Tabs...' since in that context it would otherwise not be clear which tabs would get bookmarked.
I'd also like to reverse an inconsistency that I introduced via https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D7225. If all tabs are selected in a window, we should disable instead of hide the 'Close Tab Options' item, matching the behavior we have for the 'Move Tabs' item.
