And I'm glad to oblige.  May I introduce about:config (and friends) to
this discussion?  Sure, it's not on scale minutes vs hours but still.
Thus it goes like this.  Spend 3..5 min and find out there isn't
anything you can do.  Or waste hours searching through text and binary
files, documentation (so to speak), then internet noise, then sources
and still can't make the thing do what you want.  Does this count?
