user_pref("fehlt security.ssl3.dhe_dss_aes_128_sha", false);There is no "fehlt" in about:config. All your prefs containing that word are useless.
user_pref("security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha", false);is already set to false in default configuration.
user_pref("dom.storage.enabled", false);In such cases you should warn the clueless user that it will break some sites:
user_pref("dom.storage.enabled", false); // will break some sitesBesides, if the above pref is set to false the following one in your file
user_pref("dom.storage.default_quota", 0);is redundant. You have more than one such redundant prefs in your file. They don't do any harm, only make needlessly the user.js file bigger.

Some values set by default by KMeleon are included to be sure they are disabled for future releases.

At KM76RC2 they are not included due the absence of future releases.

Just why I think it's important to add comments in the file, and that's also one advantage of having them in a separate file instead of only in about:config, where no comments are possible.

Could you please give a specific example from your above posted prefs?

- My point was and still is -
Better privacy and security sounds fantastic!
Only problem is that all int. default prefs are set for a configuration that works best for most people.
Therefore only people who know exactly what they are doing should touch those prefs.
It's up to everybody to take the necessary time for reading and understanding what each pref stands for.
It's all out there except maybe for some hidden prefs.
Just copying prefs blindly from different sources can cause more trouble than benefit!
Those intern prefs can be tweaked once you know what you're doing but only according to personal needs and priorities.
Such priorities are e.g. convenience, security or privacy. Most of the time, one tweak at the expense of something else.
There is no golden bullet that can fit everybody. The default int. prefs are closest to such a golden bullet.

Sorry for quoting myself, but since I'm doing since years much the same as J.G. :cool: (just not in such masses, rather one by one), here's another important advantage of keeping own "improvements" in a separate file in defaults folder:
If some day the browser behaves strangely and no clue what could be the exact reason, I can simply remove that file for a quick test. That restores all settings to true KM-default in seconds, the whole bunch at once :cool:

Do note, when you request something look in about:networking (very useful). Sometimes even query search engines require so many third-party servers... immediately obvious why need filters for URL.

Final Tweaks tested
- Updated 20180416
Advice: if not sure, test them with one 'cloned' KMeleon folder.
------------------------------------
Recommended elevated privacy and security for travelling USB devices.
All tweaks are reversible. Any issue found will be informed in this post.
Following @siria recommendations, all these settings can be added all together to prefs.js file located at profile folder of any KMeleon and KMeleon Goanna too, just copy and paste the next useful lines:

Anyone try about:about ?
"This is a list of “about†pages for your convenience.
Some of them might be confusing. Some are for diagnostic purposes only.
And some are omitted because they require query strings." (...)
