I thought of that as a possible solution some time ago (and something like
TweakMoz would seem to be a step in the right direction); subsequently, I
decided that it might just be easier to have all the 'hidden prefs' more
thoroughly documented. There are invaluable resources out there, but
(with all due respect to Holger and Pratik and others) it would make more
sense to host this on m.o, where it could be more readily maintained.
