You can currently choose Edit Page at a frameset from navigator's File menu. This will just open Composer, tell you you can't edit that kind of page, and close it. Similarly, if you right click on, for example, links to .exe or .zip files and choose Edit Link in Composer, Composer opens, scolds you, and closes. Why don't we have a little proactive error prevention in the creation of the File menu and in nsContextMenu.js which would disable (or remove, in the case of the context menu) these items in these cases? Removing the "New Composer Window" option in the dropdown in the Open Web Location dialog for case 2 (invalid file types) would also be good.

Isn't .exe is a valid extension for a cgi program, though?
