I have modified various settings in about:config, others have been added/modified by extensions. I would like to know how far off some of the values are from the default and know what the result would be if I restored the default.

I would like to know the default values (if any) for each modified entry in about:config.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. about:config
2. Change a setting.
3. Wonder what the original value was.
Actual Results:  
No clue.

Expected Results:  
Show the default value along with the current value. Possibly add a "restore default" button.
"reset" is "restore default"
