Advanced javascript options (about:config)

I know that JavaScript options aren't available anymore on the options (despite of finding it a poor decision). I accept going to the about:config and trying to tweak things there.

My problem is that the "advanced features" are not so clear as the JavaScript enable in the config.

What I am wondering is how to set each of these functions (individually) there:

Any help would be really appreciated.

The easy way
Install SettingSanity.

The hard way
Modify the following preferences in about:config.

Move or resize popup windows
dom.disable_window_move_resize

Raise or lower windows
dom.disable_window_flip

Disable or replace context menus
dom.event.contextmenu.enabled

I strongly recommend that you don't tamper with the last setting, as it would prevent websites from using custom menus (e.g. YouTube HTML5 Player, Outlook, other webmail sites, etc.). If you want to bring up the default context menu on sites that disable or replace it, hold down the Shift key while you right-click.
