How to categorise, what to categorise?

• Opt-In vs. Opt-Out
• previous default vs. recommended default
• focus on security and/or comfort (security resp. comfort may be devided up)
• could/will break some/many connections/sites or actually not
• actually built-in vs. additional subscriptions (who would provide subscriptions?)

Some TODO (no order of priority yet):

• collect lists of settings
• review them
• make a master list with categories and priority
• think about Firefox Profilemaker: should it stay this way as a service website, become a Firefox add-on, etc.?
• what about subscriptions: generally yes/no? who/where?
• research and review docu for settings (so many settings, so few helpful docu...)
• is it needed to test every case?
• how to test/what to test?
• ask the guys mentioned above if willing to help or share
• if Firefox Profilemaker becomes a Firefox add-on: I have seen some useful add-ons before. Haven't saved them, what a pitty. Do research.
• if Firefox Profilemaker stays a service website: what if there is much more access than before? willing to share and announce?
• feature request: some easy way to import and export settings
• look for duplicates (I mean not just settings, also project work)
• try to make order of priority (project work)
• er, just got this idea at last: is it really worth everything to make it that big? ... more people using Chrome, less people using Firefox (even some former fans "hating" Firefox now) - I still like Firefox for OpenSourceSoftware, community project, highly adjustable and extensible - but other people? (doing the work: PRO Mozilla provides that many settings, CON there's just few info/docu available, not easy...)
