So **some or all** of these REMOVED, INACTIVE, DEPRECATED, and REDUNDANT prefs **need to be manually reset** in `about:config`, depending on your configuration. And over time, the list builds up. Some are harmless (deprecated items will have no effect), but others are vital (prefs and sections are INACTIVE for a reason, so it pays for your `prefs.js` to be in "sync"). Add to this any prefs you may have made inactive yourself. A REMOVED pref is particularly tricky as it is no longer referenced in the `user.js`.
