I'd rather have too many options than no options. I don't want the options in my face though. Firefox does a great job with default settings in my opinion, even to new features and redesigns of previous features. I think the Preference dashboard is stocked in a good way. It could be better, but it could be a lot worse. (You could have any of the five billion options from about:config I guess).

I agree with you about the default settings. However, I think the author is right in that some of the settings exposed in the preferences dialog are too advanced for the majority of users and are likely to break the internet for these users. Maybe a good rule of thumb is that any setting that goes beyond cosmetic should be hidden away by default. On Firefox, that means that the Advanced: Network and Encryption tabs should be at least one more step away than they currently are.
