OK, I've changed the preference using about:config. Do you know why this
behavior can't be set in "Preferences",
Because that UI part has been implemented past SM 2.0. It will be in
Preferences in SM 2.1, as I wrote.
and why "Help" lists options that aren't in the "Preferences"?
Because Help is text, and text needs to be written, and only so many
(~4) people do that--in addition to contributing code or translations,
in their free time, after many hours working on their day jobs.
As it is, using the "Preferences"
seems to result in two behaviors:
1) automatic update, no questions asked, just does it
2) no update, no notification of updates (I missed several updates until
I realized that was happening)
For SM 2.0 Preferences, yes.
And it's been like this, I believe, ever since I got SM 2.
SM 2.0 only receives security updates, that's why (the only exceptions
are very safe/simple fixes and Help changes that do not introduce new
source files, but for the latter, see above). New features are generally
excluded (exceptions prove the rule, of course).
