One of the biggest reason you're not seeing more preferences is that we don't have enough developers to do everything we want right now. There are lots of things that need to be fixed and cleaned up before we go about adding new stuff. Its great that people are discussing things we should do in the future, but keep that in mind. Its not that adding features necessarily adds to "bloat/boot-times" - its that somebody has to take a lot of their volunteer time to add them.

It seems people are always suggesting prefs that seem like good ideas to satisfy the differing needs/wants of different users, but they always seem to meet a lot of resistence.

Camino has so few preferences i assumed for some time that as more functionality appeared, so would more prefs. Hasn't happened and i'm just wondering why the users aren't given more choices. Aren't many more things available in the user.js file than appear in the prefs UI?

I can't imagine some added preferences adding much to bloat/boot-times.

Why not some prefs for the most divisive features, like the download manager behavior/appearance?
