I don't think it should be removed from the menus. At least not completely. But I don't think it should be changed at all, because it's a relevant feature for many people (and if the auto-detect may make the dial-up users thing irrelevant, forcing the browser to use the cache instead of the server is not).

== More elegant solution ===
Someone posted a mockup that allows this to be handled much more elegantly by not using a standard Windows menu:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Talk:Firefox/4.0_Windows_Theme_Mockups#An_idea_for_the_App_button
With a bit of added creativity you could encompass *all* the current menu options like this. The most used functions could be with large text and icons - easy to find and click. Less used options could be in a sub-menu that you could click saying something like "more" or "advanced" etc.
The cool thing about non-standard menus like this is that you really can be creative with each individual menu item. For example the mockup shows a "zoom" option - as well as having a cascaded "zoom" option as in the mockup you could put little "+" and "-" icons that would zoom directly in and out without having to navigate the cascaded menu.
