|Feature open issues and risks=Security and usability concerns associated with letting content area widgets modify the surrounding browser
 
|Feature overview=As part of UX's goal to eliminate Firefox's separate management windows in favor of in-content designs, the Preferences window should be moved into the content area.
Such a move provides several benefits for users. First, it removes yet another easy-to-lose window. It means that changing preferences in Firefox can be an identical and easy experience across all devices, including tablet computers. It also means that more interactive portions of Preferences, such as about:permissions, can be integrated with the rest of preferences.
 
This feature falls primarily in the '''Experience''' category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
This project has two major components:
# Integrate the parts of Firefox that should be in Preferences (such as the Add-ons Manager)
# Move Preferences into the content area
 
|Feature users and use cases=Modifying Firefox, using add-ons
|Feature requirements=A fully-integrated, usable, redesigned Firefox Preferences which displays in the content area of the browser.
