Transfering Settings in The About:Config Page To New Computer?

more options

I am about to do what I loathe most in life: Getting a new custom clone desktop computer (Win 10) and reinstalling and setting it up. I know there is a way to replicate everything from my old drive to a new drive but my computer is too buggy.

Anyway, my system is 7 years old or so and has kicked the coffin. While I know you can easily back up and transfer all the popular settings/apps etc, do all my reconfigurations in 'About:Config' come along too with the rest of the whole shabang...transfer too. I hope so as I don't recall what I changed a long while ago . But whatever the items are I want to transfer them. Can you do that in a transfer? In Profile Folder are such things /changes saved there? Just want to know what to expect. Thanks for the ounce of wisdom!

Hi StevenB, nearly all of the preferences that show as modified in about:config are stored in the prefs.js file in your currently active profile folder.
