Okay, then. This should not be kept away from Preferences because it adds confusion, but because it doesn't belong in Mozilla at all! > But isn't that what the "Advanced" section should be all about?

Cache location should definately be configurable through prefs (and will be soon - bug 46490). The User-Agent string? To advanced for advanced, it belongs in debug.
