this happens depending on which view you are on.
for example if you are in the view all bookmarks - everything except for history is disabled.

we can easily modify it so that all items are enabled in all views if that is the desired behavior.

I would strongly recommend that at least totally independent top-level actions like 'bookmarks', 'history', 'nearby', and 'settings' either always be available, or be removed from the menu when they're not reachable.
Compare with the stock Android browser app -- when you go into the Bookmarks or History views, you get a different menu with only items that are relevant to that view. ('Bookmark last viewed page', 'List options' for Bookmarks and 'Clear History' for History).
It's a lot clearer that way that to get to other parts of the app you'll have to exit from the specialized view.

Currently the menu-plugin is unable to remove items; this feature is in the menu-plugins roadmap but we haven't had the resourcing available to implement it.
