I have a question related to firefox preferences.

From the firefox online documentations and tutorial, I learned that firefox organizes its preferences options as branches. Put another way, preferences are organized hierarchically. I noticed that there are some methods interfacing with a hash table.

I am curious how exactly the preferences are stored in firefox source code? What types of data structures are used to store them? Which file should I look at? Thanks!

You can explore the source code on this site:

Simply search for the full name of a preference of interest to see how defaults are set and accessed.
