What is about:config

about:config is a special page that lists all Mozilla preferences (read from "prefs.js" and "user.js"), many of which are not present in Options/Preferences dialog. Preferences can be changed here.

Warning: Changing these values can, in rare circumstances, break Mozilla, Firefox, or Thunderbird or cause strange behavior. Only edit these preferences if you know what you are doing.
