how to sync mozilla about:config setting from one system to other system
I have browser base application and my applications is running in about 100 different systems so i need to do the about:config setting in every new system in which i have to start my application. Is their any alternate option of about:config setting so that i can export my one system configuration setting to other system.

Is this about copying specific prefs to other computers?
There are services.sync.prefs.sync<pref-name> prefs with a value true for each pref that is by default included in syncing preferences.
- prefs that have a corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync.<pref-name> pref that is set to true will be synced to other devices
- if you want to sync prefs that are currently not included then create a corresponding Boolean sync pref and set its value to true
- services.sync.prefs.sync.<pref-name> = true (omit the <>)
Note that there are other ways to transfer prefs to another computer or profile folder.
For Mac: The local-settings.js file needs to be in:
- /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/defaults/pref
The mozilla.cfg file needs to be in:
- /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources
