Some how we don't have a "Reload Frame" option in our frame context menu. Wonder
why this bug wasn't filed yet.
Severity: normal → enhancement
Need to avoid context menu overload.
Priority: -- → P3
Target Milestone: --- → Camino1.1
There are two kinds of users.  People who want to keep things spartan because
they can barely cope, and experienced, intense users, who want lots of useful
options.

I think a single Expert User checkbox in Preferences would handle this nicely,
defaulting to off.

It's the old trick from The Design of Everyday Things: a panel behind which are
hidden the knobs and switches for stuff only experts will use.
If we went that route, I'd say make it a defaults key like Safari does.
Something akin to:

defaults write org.mozilla.Camino SuperL33tMode -bool YES

or something.
The lack of 'reload frame' can potentially be an annoyance (at least for expert users) on sites that have one frame whose contents are generated via a POST submission and another that's just a GET request.  I've seen some web-based chats with such an arrangement, for instance.

I much prefer the look of Camino to that of Firefox, but the lack of supposedly 'expert' options like this that are even available in Safari's default configuration sort of ruins the deal for me.
WONTFIX per irc and comment 1 ;)

I like the fact that Camino is way faster than FireFox on my work machine where reload frame was an option that I heavily used to reload a ticket count at the top of the screen of a support ticket queue without having to reload the entire page.  I would greatly hope that this option may be reconsidered as it is an easy addition.
2 Simple Solutions:
1) just push the option key and the "Reload" changes to: "Reload Frame" 
2) Act like Safari. if the context menu is inside a frame, the "Reload" just reloads the frame or iframe
