I am using Aurora, but I can't find out how to ask a question for it and not firefox. My real question is how to reach the about: config page in Aurora.
For some reason, Mozilla Support has no section for me to ask a question about Mozilla Aurora. I need to know how to reach the about: config page in Aurora and no one has apparently asked this question before. Someone please help me on this issue because no one seems to know

You reach about:config the same way you reach it in Firefox, type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
Aurora is Firefox, just 12 weeks into the future.
Aurora is not a codename or a name of a version but the name of one of four main development channels. Release (28.0), Beta (currently at 29.0b9), Aurora (30.0a2) and Nightly (31.0a1).
Note that the Aurora and Nightly channel get checkins pretty much everyday and they get a update each of those days. Is there a reason why you are testing the Aurora channel builds of Firefox?
You may want to remember about:about as it lists about:config among most other about: urls.

Maybe it's just the way the forum posted your question, but you can't have any spaces in about:config or Firefox won't load the page.
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
