Easier Firefox configuration

gui:config (found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5523) is a new Firefox add-on that lets you access the huge number of Firefox configurations that are found in the about:config page without having to hack your browser. It doesn't let you do anything new, but it makes it a lot easier to do things and it surfaces customizations that you probably didn't even know where available.

Once it's installed, you get a new option in your menus called Advanced Settings.... When you select it, you get a complete interface with six different tabs that'll let you tweak Firefox in all sorts of new and interesting ways.
