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 there.
Warning: Do not change any values unless you really know what you are doing.
See about:config Entries and preferential.mozdev.org for the list of available preferences with explanations.
See this page for step-by-step guide on adding and changing prefs (with screenshots).
Opening about:config
In Firefox and Mozilla you can just type about:config in the Location Bar.
In Thunderbird you could set your mail start page to chrome://global/content/config.xul (but you can't until bug 242436 is fixed).
You can also use Preferential extension.
