An ugly workaround is to unpack /usr/lib/firefox/chrome/browser.jar (it is a zip archive) and remove the menuitem with helpGetHelpOnline and perhaps helpTranslate) and then repack it and replace the original browser.jar.

Or unpack /usr/lib/firefox/extensions/langpack-<locale>@firefox.mozilla.org/chrome/<locale>.jar add in the missing translatiions, and repack.

I put a patch to add the missing translations here:

Easier fix:
Just disable all language packs except english one in Extensions.

I think I have fixed this in firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1ubuntu5 which
should be in the archive now. Can someone please confirm that the
problems are fixed for them ?

Thanks,
Ian.
