It's no longer a modal dialog. Seems like a simple GUI improvement.

  Why does "no longer a modal dialog" = "GUI improvement"? This isn't obvious to me at all...

    Because just looking at the preferences blocks everything else in Firefox? Given how important a browser is, this is quite annoying. A trivial example is opening up preferences and then wanting to Google to figure out how to configure something. Not possible in the current design.

  On a Mac at least, the Preferences window is not modal. You can still interact with Firefox even though it is up. Is that not the case on other OSes?

    On Windows it's modal. Dunno about the others.

      Not Modal on Nightly Linux.
