how can i capture the info displayed by "about:config" to a text file(or something!)?
I know I can get my cusomtizations from my own prefs.js, but I have a
secuirty compliance need to document the defaults of a firefox
installation as well and you cannot print or save the "about:config"
page. Surely there is a way to do this?

For the defaults that you see in about:config, they come from files
housed in the Firefox Program Files folder.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs\all.js
This file can be read by Wordpad. It is best to make a copy that you
can cleanup to meet your documentation requirement.

Ron,
I don't think it is limited to:
.........greprefs\all.js
also from *.js files in:
....\Program Files\........\defaults\pref\
channel-prefs.js
firefox.js
firefox-branding.js
firefox-l10n.js
reporter.js
and probably some scattered elsewhere also..
Just another point of view.

The Pearl Crescent Page Saver (Basic) extension will save the entire
thing as an image. But I don't know if an image is so good for
documentation purposes, and of course once an extension is installed
it's no longer quite the default Fx configuration.

A bit of self importance too: "I have a
secuirty (sic) compliance need ...". I doubt there is a browser around
that could be proved secure per government stanadards.
