The question pretty much sums up the details. Why, all of a sudden, does the pref page have a different appearance?

See:

You can toggle browser.preferences.inContent to false on the about:config page to restore the separate Options/Preferences window that you had in previous Firefox versions.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
