Mozilla lists and docu:
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Security_and_privacy-related_preferences URL tells by name
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences URL tells by name

Groups:
- Website Tracking (Beacons, Pings, different techniques used for evercookie, ...)
- Firefox Tracking (Healthreport, Addon Metadata)
- Security Settings (TLS-Features, WebGL, etc.)
- Privacy Settings (Referer, etc.)
- Unwanted Features (optional) (Pocket, Geo-Location, ...)
- Unwanted Features (obstrusive) (Phishing Protection, etc.)
How to categorise, what to categorise?
- Opt-In vs. Opt-Out
- previous default vs. recommended default
- focus on security and/or comfort (security resp. comfort may be devided up)
- could/will break some/many connections/sites or actually not
- actually built-in vs. additional subscriptions (who would provide subscriptions?)
Some TODO (no order of priority yet):
- collect lists of settings
- review them
- make a master list with categories and priority
- think about Firefox Profilemaker: should it stay this way as a service website, become a Firefox add-on, etc.?
- what about subscriptions: generally yes/no? who/where?
- research and review docu for settings (so many settings, so few helpful docu...)
- is it needed to test every case?
- how to test/what to test?
- ask the guys mentioned above if willing to help or share
- if Firefox Profilemaker becomes a Firefox add-on: I have seen some useful add-ons before. Haven't saved them, what a pitty. Do research.
- if Firefox Profilemaker stays a service website: what if there is much more access than before? willing to share and announce?
- feature request: some easy way to import and export settings
- look for duplicates (I mean not just settings, also project work)
- try to make order of priority (project work)
- er, just got this idea at last: is it really worth everything to make it that big? ... more people using Chrome, less people using Firefox (even some former fans "hating" Firefox now) - I still like Firefox for OpenSourceSoftware, community project, highly adjustable and extensible - but other people? (doing the work: PRO Mozilla provides that many settings, CON there's just few info/docu available, not easy...)
Look into:
- Meta Referer: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704320 is it already fine or can we even improve with this? How does it affect the referer settings?
