There's no easily accessible documentation for the values that are settable on
the about:config page. It would be nice if there were some form of help
available on the about:config page, such as via a 4th column, popups, F1
context-sensitive help, or Help from a right click.

(dupe of 195845)

Bug 195845: Descriptions for hidden preferences accessable by about:config and
other parts of Mozilla


Note that about:config shows a number of preferences whose names are generated
on the fly and which hence cannot be documented.
