Clipping source URL functionality should not be exposed in Thunderbird #37

Thunderbird is a mail client, not a web browser. So the new feature for saving the source URL of a clipping should not be exposed in the UI if Clippings is running as an add-on for Thunderbird.

This is already handled in the New Clipping dialog, but not in Clippings Manager, Export dialog, and extension preferences dialog (Data Source tab).

For 5.0 beta 1, the source URL functionality will be completely unavailable in Thunderbird.

But in 5.0 beta 2, we'll need to consider the case where Firefox and Thunderbird on the same computer points to the same Clippings datasource. In this situation, we should probably allow the user to view the source URL or go to the source web page in Thunderbird. In Clippings Manager, the source URL bar should be hidden by default, but can be displayed if the user so chooses via the Tools menu.
