I want remove about:preferences#home , these checks: Web Search, Top Sites, Recommended by Pocket, Highlights,Snippets and skip Let’s get started tour

I do these steps manually, any way add these to pref.js for avoid uncheck it every time?

Hi, what do you mean by "every time"? Firefox should remember those changes indefinitely.

To get a copy of those customized preferences as they appear in prefs.js, try waiting 2 minutes after making your settings changes, and then open a copy of prefs.js, look for lines containing browser.newtabpage and back those up for future reference.

Also, it seems you are removing everything from the page. If so, have you considered using the setting in the section above that to set New tabs to "Blank page"? That might be simpler.

I assumed you already had one or both of these references, but just in case:
