Not wanting to get picky-picky (because of the work you do for us SM

You have to understand that in about:config you can basically type any
name you want and set it to any value you want.  Only when the program
code is reading the name you typed it will do anything.  There is a
pre-populated list of names and values that you see, but even that
does not guarantee that changing them actually has any effect at all.
There can be names/values in the list that are never (or no longer)
used anywhere in the program.

Rob, I am aware that "There is a pre-populated list of names and values that you see". I am aware that more can be hand-added. I am also aware that there is a pre-populated list of names and values that you *don't* see i.e. hidden prefs.

It is this third group that I am asking Jens about.
