Wand manager is under Tools | Options | Wand or something similar (I have it in Spanish right now, and I am too lazy to do a multilingual installation). I didn't find problems with the other options.

I didn't like the "improvements" to tabbed browsing in the newer versions (8.0 and 8.5, I think) - under "Tools | Options | General" there is an option to include a close button on each tab. Specifically, the Window menu will appear again if the "Close" button on each tab is disabled.

Oh, and another "improvement" which started in version 8.5, I think, is to show less status information as the page loads. I prefer the previous, detailed, status information. Once again, this can fortunately be reverted with an option; Tools | Layout (?), Toolbars, Progress.
