Pale Moon Commander (beta)

Pale Moon Commander 0.3b2

Adds "Advanced options" to Pale Moon's Options menu (Pale Moon button) or Tools menu (classic menu), giving a large array of advanced options and tweaks, and allows you to enable/disable additional tools and modules. Warning: changing preferences of which you don't know the effect can potentially break your browser's functionality. Make backups.

This is very much a work-in-progress and is far from complete, however, for the tweakers among you, this may be a welcome reprieve from having to type about:config

The add-on does not have documentation yet, either. Use it at your own risk.

NOTE: You can also use this add-on for Firefox tweaking, although not all functions may have effect.

Awesome. I'm already using it and fiddled around with it, and everything's working beautifully so far.

....but I'm going to have to heed your "here be dragons" warning and make a record of what I alter - especially the ones I don't fully understand! With "finger trouble" and broken browsers in mind would it be possible to incorporate a "Restore Default/Initial Settings" option in a future build? I assume disabling/uninstalling will leave all changed settings as is?

Pretty good, once past beta pop it on addons.mozilla.org!

I could probably incorporate "restore all Pale Moon defaults" similar to the preferences reset option in the safe mode dialog; restoring initial settings would be a lot more involved so that option although probably preferred of the two, would be something to implement much later, if done...

Yes, all changes made are permanent settings, regardless of the add-on. It's a configurator.

I intend to - especially since it can also be used for Firefox. That and babelzilla for l10n.

This is really great, good work! How much settings are you planning to include in it?

I often need to change these:
browser.padlock.urlbar_background
browser.urlbar.trimURLs
clipboard.autocopy
keyword.URL
layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word
middlemouse.paste
security.dialog_enable_delay

and what about "hidden" or experimental features category, for example:
browser.download.useToolkitUI
browser.preferences.inContent
