# Move Preferences into the content area
|Feature users and use cases=Modifying Firefox, using add-ons
|Feature dependencies=In-content UI Visual Unification: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Firefox/In-content_UI_Visual_Unification
|Feature requirements=A fully-integrated, usable, redesigned Firefox Preferences which displays in the content area of the browser.
|Feature non-goals=- It is *not* a goal of this project to modify the organization of the preferences.
- It is *not* a goal of this project to move the modal dialogs accessed through the current preferences window to be rendered in-content. Those dialogs, e.g. the Saved Passwords dialog, will remain as a modal dialog for this project.
|Feature functional spec=The preferences will be implemented as a single XHTML document that includes different sections for the various panes. The sections will be shown/hidden based on the search filter.
There will be 7 predefined filters that will match the current sections of the preferences window. These filters will be presented as sidetabs when viewing preferences.
Searching using the search box in the upper right will visually bring the view to search results sidetab but will not require a pageload. Sections of the page will be shown/hidden based on the matching of the filter.
pushState/popState will be used to track navigation through the page and allow traditional back/forward navigation to continue to work.
|Feature ux design=See these pages for mockups and designs of the new in-content preferences:
