After installing the newest update, the "options" window is no longer independent of the browser window. This seems less secure and my personal information more vulnerable. I do not like the browser displaying my options and I prefer to access my information through the original independent window. Why are the "options" now a part of the browser?

hello, this is a matter of design/ux and doesn't have any impact on security, you data is as secure as before. among other reasons this is done to unify the appearance of the options across all platforms & operating systems that firefox is running on... http://www.ghacks.net/2014/03/29/firefoxs-new-tab-based-preferences-design/
