Showing only modified preferences looks like a common request, so my ask at the moment would be for actual examples of when you encounter this in a real scenario. If you're interested, check out bug 1502867 comment 3 and add a note the next time you find that the current page isn't enough for

Last year a group of students, Luke, Matthias, and Vincent, designed and implemented a new version of "about:config" in order to improve the ergonomics and align the look and feel with other in-content Firefox pages. They did an amazing job, working with design input from Amy Lee and with myself
