2 fyis...These items are already disabled (not removed) on mozilla/OS X. I also
think there may also be another bug already out there covering all the menu item
choices for the Page Source window (I'm thinking specifically in relation to the
Window menu item, but I don't remember the actual scope for sure)

as a fyi, this was done because the UI people thought it best to keep the layout
of the menu consistent across all areas rather than have one place where its
radically different (muscle memory etc).

wontfixing this for that reason. firebird can decide to break UI rules at will,
that is its problem.
