ive tried that and mine doesnt seem to care if im in gear or not, it wants to warm up in a hurry
why did mazda want to try to heat the car up faster than it should
it scared the **** out of me when i first got my fc// went up to about 3.5 and i thought there was something wrong with the engine

once mine has warmed up i can shut it off and turn it back on and it wont rev up but if the engine has had too much time to cool it will rev again, its not a big deal, just tap the gas to get it to stop but still annoying//
that is a good question tho, how do you turn off the advanced warm up setting?
and i can only think a few times that it is not fun to scare small children... hehehe

Mazda did this to meet U.S. emissions requirements. The high idle right after starting serves to warm up the precat and reduce emissions. There is a fairly easy way to defeat it, if I remember correctly, but I forget what it is.
Of course, you could always install an aftermarket ECU....

Yeah, mine can be a bit tough to keep running too. I think the cold start fuel enrichment map needs more fuel.
