I've noticed that there is a lack of consistency throughout the UI concerning the term used to designate the options. "Options" is used in the menu, "Settings" is used on about:home and "preferences" is usually used on bugzilla. Since "options" is the more clear and shortest string. It should be used in the whole UI.

"Options" is Windows terminology, "Preferences" is used on Linux and Mac.

... and then I realized after duping that bug 761566 is actually older.
