I am trying to determine which preference were either deleted or changed for the purpose of locking them down per DOD STIGs.
I no longer see the following preferences and need to know if they were straight out deleted or are encompassed by another preference(s):
signon.prefillForms privacy.ite.history privacy.sanitize.promptOnSanitize browser.download.dir xpinstall.enabled security.warn_leaving_secure security.enable_tls security.enable_ssl2 security.enable_ssl3
Chosen solution
security.enable_ssl3 was replaced by the security.tls.version.min and security.tls.version.max preferences. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.tls.version.*
security.tls.version.min is set to 1 at default which disables SSL3. SSLv3 was disabled by default as of Firefox 34 and later.

security.warn_leaving_secure do not have an effect any longer as of Firefox 19.0 ... Bug 799009 - Remove support for obsolete SSL-related warning prompts
Bug 469158 - Remove the 'privacy.sanitize.promptOnSanitize' preference
The xpinstall.enabled pref is only present on the about:config page when you add it yourself. When absent then it defaults to true.
