Note 3: "Move system caret with focus/selection changes" should be changed to "Place caret in Web pages so that text can be selected with the keyboard (F7)" or some such, IMHO. -Hixie
Note 4: The "Resize large images to fit in the browser window" pref should be dropped altogether with the browser just remembering the last state of clicking on the image to enable/disable it.
