> Before moving forward with this suggestion, please do a usage analysis for each of these options (or any future suggested options) based on regions in the world. Several of these options (images - which doesn't break Google for me, javascript, cache) are all things that appear on the surface to be very useful in third world countries where bandwidth & hardware is very limited. The ease of finding and configuring these options might be precisely why Firefox has a healthy lead over competing browser in Africa. So while the overall percent of users is 2%, this number possibly shoots up to a majority of the user base when looking at specific regions or demographics.
Specifically, image & javascript would help with bandwidth. Cache override/disable would be useful on devices like the Raspberry Pi that run off of flash media (or for use cases like running Firefox off a flash drive ala PortableApps); the type of hardware I would expect to be more widely used in 3rd world countries.
