So when I fly over "browser.download.manager.retention" in "about:config" page I could see a bubble help : When to remove downloaded files' entries from the Download Manager 0: Upon successful download 1: When the browser exits 2 (default): Manually Note: In Firefox, this can be changed via "Tools → Options → Privacy → Download Manager History" Regards Reproducible: Always

an other usefull feature for about:config could be to search for a word in the about:config help (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries)
Related to Suite bug 195845?

confirming, as I couldn't find duplicates. Note bug 269423, however. The "correct" pretty link is: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries

This would add a massive number of strings to translate, for a hidden feature that we don't intend to expose to end users at any point. Could work as an extension (i.e. someone could resurrect Preferential).
