### Preferences
+Set and lock preferences.
+
+Previously you could only set and lock a subset of preferences. Starting with Firefox 81 and Firefox ESR 78.3 you can set many more preferences. You can also set default preferences, user preferences and you can clear preferences.
+
+Preferences that start with the following prefixes are supported:
+```
+accessibility.
+browser.
+datareporting.policy.
+dom.
+extensions.
+geo.
+intl.
+layout.
+media.
+network.
+places.
+print.
+ui.
+widget.
+```
+as well as the following security preferences:
+```
+security.default_personal_cert
+security.insecure_connection_text.enabled
+security.insecure_connection_text.pbmode.enabled
+security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled
+security.mixed_content.block_active_content
+security.osclientcerts.autoload
+security.ssl.errorReporting.enabled
+security.tls.hello_downgrade_check
+security.warn_submit_secure_to_insecure
+```
+Using the preference as the key, set the `Value` to the corresponding preference value.
+
+`Status` can be "default", "locked", "user" or "clear"
+
+If a value is locked, it is also set as the default.
+
+User preferences persist across invocations of Firefox.
+
+See the examples below for more detail.
+
