I noticed that the other day when I went to that area for the
first time in the latest version. You can do that on any
version of FF, so I don't know why they added that warning on
the 3.x or 3.5 versions. Maybe too many people were hosing
theirs by making changes in that area.

By default if you enter the config dialog in FF, (by typing
"about:config" in the address bar)there is a warning displayed,
and I
quote "Here be dragons. Changing these advanced settings could
be
harmful to the security, stability and performance of this
application.
You should only proceed if you are sure of what you are doing."
The button to clear this screen, which would normally be marked
"OK" or
"Continue" or some such is marked "I'll be careful I promise".
PLEASE
TAKE NOTE.
