hi!

The 'Hide menubar' option should be completely removed. The danger of
hitting it accidentally is too high, and unexperienced users might not
know how to get it back. -> This issue is also added to the new HIG.

-> This is also added to the new HIG, but not yet discussed. See
www.kde.org/areas/guidelines/html/menus_standard.html

I think they were not removed because even if a user is in web browsing
mode, he can open local files. 

But as all items to change view properties for file browsing are
removed, it makes no sense to leave the 'save folder properties' items.
They should also be removed to avoid confusion for unexperienced users.
