Having to diddle a preference variable via about:config is NOT
user-oriented.  If it were, bugs #178685 and #330858 would have been
fixed instead of marked WontFix; and the resulting document would have
been made available to end-users.  Instead, the developers seem to have
the position that end-users should not be touching preference variables
-- except when they fail to provide appropriate user interfaces for
significant capabilities.

See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178685> and
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330858>.
