Adding add-on preferences to the Add-ons Manager
http://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/2011/07/Adding-add-on-preferences-to-the-Add-ons-Manager

This feature is now in the Aurora builds and it’d be great to get add-on developers playing with it.

My impression is that anything Thunderbird specific on MDN is going to become irrelevant/outdated .
