Export Firefox about:config settings to a CSV file

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.
