All of the functions in the Edit menu except for Find in this Page... and Find
Again apply to the place where the cursor is (or where focus is, if there's a
difference).  This is inconsistent.  All of the functions in the Edit menu
should be page-level, not focus level.

Reproducible: Always

1. Put the cursor in the address bar.
2. Click Edit > Select All.

Expected Results:  
[1] The page is selected or
[2] The URL is searched.
