Confirming as a RFE, though it might get WONTFIXed since devs want to minimize 
the amount of items in context menus (see bug 159049).

Also, for reference, see bug 188343 which would solve the underlying problem 
of this bug, but should be probably duped to bug 158442 for reasons mentioned 
in bug 159049.

See also bug 276498, where Simon again warns against CM overload for a frame item.

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.

That's another bug. Simon, is this a menu item we want to add? If so, this is for post-1.0.

I say this is WONTFIX.  Opening a frame in a new foo and copying the URL isn't that inconvenient.  Simon, any comment?
