243139 - Firefox should have a Fonts pane in Options, like Thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Grey Nicholson (they/them)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040509 Firefox/0.8.0+

Firefox's font options are currently hidden behind a push-button in Options; 
Thunderbird's font options have their own pane.

Firefox should also have a Fonts pane in Options - fonts are just as important 
on the web as in emails, if not moreso. 

The Fonts pane could just contain the content of the current pop-out dialogue. 
If/when language UI is added, it could go here too (Tb has character encoding 
in its Fonts pane - it's not much of a stretch).

The artwork for the pane's icon can simply be embezzled from Thunderbird.

This will increase consistency between Fx and Tb.

On second thoughts, this would probably complicate the UI; and it looks like
this isn't gonna happen. WONTFIXing; reopen at will.

filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
