I installed a program called Aptana Studio 3. It's added a menu item to my context menu(if I right click I see an option "Aptana Studio"). How can I manually remove this from my menu?

I have searched high and low and can't find a way to remove the Aptana stuff from my Firefox. Perhaps it's because I'm on Firefox 4. What I have done is I've gone into

about:config

I then searched for Aptana and there are 3 items that are listed. I've attached a screenshot.

My question now is how can I remove these items because perhaps this will remove the option from my menu.
about:config

Given that this context menu appears in Firefox, it seems most likely that Aptana installed a Firefox extension.

This howto describes uninstallation process.

Basically just go to Tools > Add-ons in Firefox. There you should find some Aptana related extension - it's probably called "Debugger". You can either disable or remove the extension - the resulting effect will be the same.

Edit: Aptana was added (automatically?) as Firebug's external editor. While editing about:config is an option, the "proper" way to edit external editors is through Firebug's "Configure Editor" window, which you can find in context menu as an extended option for the editor or through Firebug's main menu:
