Register a tool using gDevTools.regisrTools(toolDefinition) with an id "testing" (or any other thing).

Remove the tool using gDevTools.unregisterTool("testing")

The tool is gone from the toolbox, but the menu items still remain.

Updated the test to check for menu item too. Did not add key and appmenu as they are subject to tool definition and the operating system respectively.

r+, but why all these new if()?
Attachment #698156 - Flags: review?(paul) → review+
Let me explain all of them:

the if(radio) change is just a redundancy removal.

the if(appmenuitem) is for OSX

the rest of them are there because of the fact that add-ons might misbehave sometimes and due to which there can be uncertainty. This function is mostly used by add-ons only, so Checking once will prevent from erroring out prematurely and thus leaking memory, as the remaining entries might have needed a removal.

Also, as the  gDevTools._addToolToMenu method has a way of not appending, but just returning the keys and menu items, we are never sure what actually got attached.

I might be wrong with my hypothesis here.
