Quote:Mozilla launched an initial version of a redesigned about:config page of the Firefox web browser in Firefox Nightly.Full reading: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/01/31/firefoxs-new-aboutconfig-page/
The new page is built using web technologies, the old was based on XUL technology that Mozilla wants to remove completely from the browser.
Note: the page is a work in progress. Things may change before the new page lands in Firefox Stable. It is unclear if Mozilla will make the change in Firefox 67 or newer versions of the browser. Interested users can follow development by pointing their browser to the Meta bug on Bugzilla.
Firefox displays the warning again on first launch of the new interface even if the browser was set up to skip the warning.
The new interface is blank by default. All that is displayed is a search field at the top and one of the iconic background images that Mozilla uses for internal Firefox pages.
