@cuchaz

the need to

1. know this stuff is in there

2. do techie stuff like about:config

is a deliberate design decision that is user-hostile.

@rzeta0 @cuchaz yes, 1 is bad, and I'm not happy with that. Mozilla can (and should) do better.

I don't agree on 2, you don't need to go to about:config. Why? I didn't have to, at least.

The screenshot shows the setting in "Settings", as it is explained here: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/p

It is trivial to disable, but it should have been opt-in and/or communicated clearly instead of getting it in quietly as part as a regular update. That's why we have trust issues.
