Is there really even a reason to have these menu entries in the Bookmark Manager? Help -> Release Notes Check For Updates About Bon Echo Seems like these should just be removed. [Help -> Help Contents would be the only item remaining.]
There are such menu items in "Page Source" and "DOM Source" windows, and they do work. Should they also be removed?

There's also the same problem with the DOM Inspector window.

The first hack also didn't work when the opening window was closed (or for Mac where the "no window" case is more common). This should work consistently across the board.
