so, how can I export the WHOLE 'about:config' from firefox into plain text file. Screenshot would be good enough although text file is preferred.

My favorite firefox extention sceengrab cannot handle it.

Please note that I am on Mac and I cannot find 'prefs.js' file.

I found it here /Users/radek/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/h2it03j8.default/prefs.js – Radek – 2010-07-19T05:45:03.103

Assuming you want your preferences on another computer you can just export the prefs.js file. I'll keep looking in case there is a specific reason you need a text file, although technically a .js is a text file of sorts. This should clue you in as to where prefs.js is on a Mac.

we needed to send it so somebody else can compare it. So it's not 'simple' export/import thing... thank you for the help – Radek – 2010-07-19T05:45:53.193

I have create an autoit script to automatic export the configuration content and compare with python. Check the article and scripts from my blog http://www.shangerxin.com/?p=262
