Description

[Vincent Cote (:vcote)]

Warn the user about possible negative effects when changing settings in the "about:config" page. Add an "I accept" button for the user to proceed.

Do we need to render the webpage in JS or would a redirection (from aboutconfig-landing.html to aboutconfig.html) be okay?

Comment 2

[:Paolo Amadini]

We need it to be in a single page, since eventually this page will be served from the well-known "about:config" URI.

Thanks! I'm quite busy this week but I'll see if I can find some additional time to review the patches, if not I'll be able to do the review next week.

No hurries =)
I've got plenty of time until next Wednesday (inclusive). After that my time will be pretty limited.
