Why? What do you want mess with in about:config? We have been talking about an 'advanced settings' section for things that most users don't want to change, but we don't have enough feedback yet to understand what should go in there. Let us know.



Why? Ability to disable prefetch, Referer spoof to top domain and other privacy related stuff.

I love Firefox - it’s my default desktop browser for many years. The about:config settings gives you that old Amiga feeling (like Netscape also had) where you can configure a system to your liking. I change/review/edit some advanced settings for new installs. Nerdy? Yes!
