Do you mind picking this one up :ursula? Tim requested that we not delete the code yet in case we need to switch back to the old prefs pane after some time in Beta, so maybe let's split the deletion into a different bug post-60. Alternatively, we could just back out the patch... but I think leaving it in will be an easier/smaller patch to uplift.

Another thing to note is that we should still be sending the "SETTINGS_OPEN" event when it is clicked but we don't have to send "SETTINGS_CLOSED".

I was going to check Prefs["feeds.aboutpreferences"] to OnlyToMain some action. Note that an OPEN_LINK of about:preferences won't work because we no longer allow link navigation from null principal. Although something from main can handle SETTINGS_OPEN to navigate specially.
