You ADDED a preference to about:config?  I had no idea that was possible.

How is that done?

Open "about:config", rightclick on any setting and choose "new", then
the data type for the new setting.

I agree, that's not absolotely obvious :)


Cool.

Not that I'd know what to add, but it's good to know it's possible, if a 
new install was missing something, e.g..


Can you delete them too?  (I'm afraid to try it.)

You can delete ones you've added, by choosing "reset".  But you can't
remove ones that exist by default -- resetting them just returns them
to their default state.

Feasible, but you'd better know what you're doing. Like asking if you 
can remove parts of a car -- some are more essential than others.
