Just a suggestion to swap File Types, which is currently under Content,
with Languages, which is currently under Advanced. Basically, I think
Languages shouldn't be hidden under Advanced, and it's more closely
related to the Fonts section than anything else. File Types should be
next to Downloads if anything, but it's a pretty technical (advanced)
topic. IMHO.
OS: Linux → All
Hardware: PC → All
Version: unspecified → Trunk
File Types has just been moved to its own Applications pane, so there is now plenty of room in the Contents pane. In Languages the user says which language he wants the content (!) to be displayed in, and in Fonts & Colors, in which font, size and color. That belongs together.

Fonts & Colors and Languages were already next to each other in Firefox 1.0, in the General section. But in Firefox 1.5, there wasn't enough space in the Content pane.

Beltzner, what do you think?
