Do you mean obscure because a user must type about:settings to get to
the settings?

I may be a bit too old school but, when using auto-applied config
dialogs, I never really trust the dialog so I end up thinking "this is
not working because it didn't apply the settings". We should state
very clearly that the settings are auto applied so that people like me
can build up trust :P plus you don't want mobile users to go scrolling
around searching for an Ok button.
