+# How to export all preferences in Firefox.
+
+Since Mozilla hates you and all external developers, it is not easy to
+find all preferences for future explorations.
+
+Prequisites:
+
+	$ git clone git://bitreich.org/xml2tsv
+	$ cd xml2tsv
+	$ make && make install;
+
+1. Go to »about:config«.
+2. Go to devtools there and export the whole inner HTML of the pferences
+   tables.
+3. Do xclip -o > all-prefs-raw.html.
+4. cat all-prefs-raw.html | sed 's,<wbr>,,g' > all-prefs.html
+5. 
+
+	cat prefs-all.html \
+		| xml2tsv 2>/dev/null \
+		| '/tr/th\|/tr/td/span/span'
+		| cut -f 3-
+
+5. 
+
+	cat prefs-all-lines.txt \
+		sed 's,https:.*,about:config,g' \
+		sed 'sed 's,http:.*,about:config,g' \
+		sed 's,wss:.*,about:config,g' \
+		./prefs-lines2js.sh > all-prefs-about-config.js
+
+Now edit all-prefs-about-config.js to your needs and copy over to
+user.js.
+
+See how simple it is to customize Firefox! They really like users!
