Firefox is designed to have the most useful features straight out of the box. It is not designed to be basic at all. To be fair, I probably made a mistake in trying to compare the two.

Plus has lots of features this is true. So presenting a user with a list of 100 options to select from on install is silly. While certainly there are headers in the preferences panel, there are lots of options in each one. How does splitting these up make the preferences easier? You can only see one header at a time anyway. Your method will still show the same amount of options per page.

It really does suggest a lot of hard work, and time, for something that I would suggest is not worthwhile. Its the 90/10 theory. Patchou would spend 90% of his time trying to cater for 10% of the people. As there is only one developer of Plus, I can't see it happening I'm afraid :-/
