There is deffinitely a big need to have some sort of advanced prefferences
somewhere inside of mozilla, where I can set all the juicy details that have no
UI and wont likely become one.

The Problem is: there are just so many more options that cant get a UI cause it
would make the Prefferences UI even more clunky than it already is. But on the
other hand: Editing Text-Files for this is something from a long gone century!

And doing this would mean a definite way to handle a _lot_ of user requests
verry easy without destroying the ease of use main preferences dialog.

thx alot!

I disagree, but sending to user interface design.

Why change the component? This is an XPApps bug, changing back.

Resolving as wontfix, typical users have no need for this. If you really need
this, I suggest you write a separate app or XPI installable module.
