It's Edit Preferences Advanced General Config editor. You can also enter about:config into the address bar. This also works for about:cache, about:plugins and about:mozilla. There may be others, but there you go. :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Same gnome, kernel, thunderbird, but intel-based graphics. So it smells like nvidia ...
