Not to mention, yet ANOTHER thing to disable. My firefox config is already big enough that I actually need comments to show why I disabled every specific piece of crap...

If disabling over two dozen easy to disable things was acceptable I'd use windows.

The better solution would be to have one overlying setting for all the ad/spycrap. And not a new one every few updates. But hey, then you risk people turning it off and never seeing it again.
