What’s the need for this? If you want to know which preference settings were changed from one release version of Firefox to another, you might find Config Export Firefox add-on useful. This add-on once installed, adds a new option ‘Full Config Export’ to context menu of each preference in about:config, which when selected, exports Firefox about:config settings to a CSV file with preference name, value, type and status.
