Hi,
I wrote a blog post about a bug that was hard to diagnose because it
involved a rarely-used cookie-related preference
(https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2014/08/15/the-story-of-a-tricky-bug/).
One of the commenters made an interesting suggestion: some kind of
about:config export tool that would make it easier for Firefox devs to
reproduce these kinds of problems.
Do we have anything like that, currently? You can just bundle up an
entire profile, but that's not easy, plus it contains all sorts of
sensitive information. I guess about:support lists all the "important"
modified prefs, though interpreting those can be difficult. Some kind
of privacy-respecting profile replicator could be useful.

Maybe an 'ugly' approach ... using some sed command on prefs.js could
extra what you're looking for. Expecting the dev has named "his/her"
prefs as recommended, like "extensions.myextension.xyz" it should be easy!?
