This is autotranslated version of this post.

It is very easy. Open the page about:config and accept the risks. Click Show all.

Open the developer console using hot keys Ctrl+Shift+K (on macOS Command+Option+K). In the console write the enable box and press Enter.

This will enable you to use CTRL+V. Paste the following code:

var elments = document.getElementsByTagName('tr');
[...elements].filter(
el => !el.classList.contains('has-user-value')
).forEach(
el => el.style.display = (el.style.display === 'none') ? 'table-row' : 'none'
);

Now displays only those settings that you have changed.
