Setting Firefox browser option

In Firefox, we can type "about:config" at the address bar to set the
values of browser preferences.

Does anyone know how to write some javascript to set these values?

Thanks!

If your script has the right to do that you can use
navigator.preference('preference.name', 'preference.value')
but don't expect script in a HTML document loaded via HTTP to have such
rights.
