just casually glancing at your list

• fully aware that we enforce some defaults
• user_pref("dom.targetBlankNoOpener.enabled", true); // [DEFAULT: true FF79+]
  • ^^ and what about ESR users on 78?
• most breakage has [setup-web tags, such as browser.display.use_document_fonts
  • I'm not going to tag everything because they probably all break something somewhere
• security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha is inactive - why are you telling me that it is required at default?

If you have specific issues, then open a new issue

Pref is still here, just not in the about:preferences UI.
