I'm planning more prefs in the form of e.g.
suite.manager.cookies.advancedCookieManager

Summary: Create an option to open the data manager in a standalone window instead of a browser tab. → Create options to open the data manager and the addon manager in standalone windows instead of a browser tab
Changes since the last patch:
1. Use toOpenWindowByType() instead of window.openDialog()
2. Do the same for the Add-ons Manager.

We should probably have a bug to expose those prefs in the UI once this is done, e.g., in the "Tabbed Browsing" prefpane (though neither Add-ons nor Data Manager are specific to "Browser") or "Advanced" as a more general alternative.
BTW: This "sort-of" works already by switching Browser > Link Behavior for "Links from other applications" from opening in the current tab/window or a new tab in the current window to "A new window" but will still open as a complete browser window with all toolbars, etc.

Patch v2 Open Data and Addons Managers in a standalone window/dialog

Do we want to change the current default behaviour?
Could a follow bug be created to expose these prefs?

I think I'll leave the addon manager to false, but data manager to true.

Sure. But we need to think where to put them.
