Little secrets about: config, manual configuration

After reading a post about reducing RAM consumption in FF, I decided to go deeper into the about: config settings page and find something interesting there. Looking ahead, I’ll say that my searches were successful.
To begin with, you can make all the changes in the file .. \ Mozilla Firefox \ greprefs \ all.js or in the folder with your configuration settings stored in C: \ Document and Settings \ or ~ / .mozilla / firefox in Windows and Linux accordingly. As you already noticed, Lys stores settings in js, and for each setting it calls a special function pref (prefName, value), and the function itself is in the file .. \ Mozilla Firefox \ defaults \ autoconfig \ prefcalls.js ! There you go.
