as mentioned by robert this term has multiple other meanings already which may 
puzzle users:
- to prefigure: to show or suggest (something that will happen or exist at a 
future time)
- Prefiguration (politics), the reflection of a future society being sought by 
a group
- Prefiguration (theology), a relationship between elements of the Hebrew Bible 
/ Torah, and aspects of Jesus's life as depicted in the New Testament

i'm personally ok with the term "configuration" - most users will understand 
what it is. i have to admit that the term "context-specific configuration" is a 
bit cumbersome. the term "preferences" i would associated with user preferences 
as well.

"context-aware configuration" would be an alternative which is fine for me.

other alternatives would be
- content-aware configuration
- path-based configuration
