According to Bug 305182 we should reorganize the preferences in Sunbird.

We should have a section called "Advanced". That would be the right place for
the "config editor". Also Sunbird will have the same update preferences as
Firefox/Thunderbird in the future. All this preferences should be under "Advanced".

The second thing is to rename "Options" to "Preferences" like in
Firefox/Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

I agree on that one.

I suppose this only applies for Linux? (At least it shouldn't be changed in
Windows. Both FF and TB has 'Tools->Options' in windows)

Changing summary since it's only the first part of this bug report that is valid, and it's not included in the summary.

(Unless ofcourse, the menu is actually called "options" in Linux at the moment. If  that's the case, please change it back.

Changing summary
From: Reorganize "Options" and rename it to "Preferences"
To:   Add "Advanced" section in the options menu

Who would we talk to about getting the advanced icon to use in our prefs?
Do we want this? And in that case, should we wait until after alpha2, or even after 0.3?

This (and bug 305182) are getting done in bug 333923.

Well, it's getting done as part of 305182. I split it off of 333923 to try and keep that bug's patches manageable.
