I fail to see the logic on that claim. Sure, there might be value in exposing a few more of the hidden about:config prefs on the main UI. But ALL of them? Having hundreds (thousands) of preferences so exposed would make it incredibly hard to find the few prefs that are commonly used. The "average browser user" is better served by exposing the controls for the most common preferences and hiding the ones he is not expected to understand; the "average browser user" does not care about things like advanced webgl settings. (When I say "not expected to understand" I do not intend to disparage the average user's intelligence, only their interest in delving into obscure technical aspects of browser architecture. Most users have other areas of interest.) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
