It would be useful to have easily accessible toggle options on a menu or even a
button bar that toggle certain preferences on/off "on the fly" while browsing.

For example, there are some sites that for some reason have trouble working
through a proxy.  Rather than going through the process of changing preferences,
it would streamline the browsing process to just be able to toggle "use proxies"
off temprarily, then toggle them back on.

Same thing for "use other fonts".  Usually this setting is fine, but
occasionally you come across a page that's difficult to read using the page
fonts.  Ideally you could just toggle on your defined fonts, then toggle it back
off after you leave the page.

There are probably other setting toggles that would be good candidates for this.
 Maybe a "show toggle on menu" checkmark could appear next to these options in
the Preferences dialog.
