If you have a lot TB installations, you want to use mozilla autoconfig 
for delivering a default config. Don't confuse with autoconfig for 
building Mozilla apps. Maybe searching for default_pref and/or lock_pref 
will get better results.

On a quick search i found only 
http://www.it-sudparis.eu/s2ia/user/procacci/netscape/en/mozilla-autoconfig-en.html#htoc12
but there are a few other pages.

The explaniation of most prefs are burried somewhere in the Knowledge 
Base http://kb.mozillazine.org
You can find out which preference differs from default entering 
about:config in the URL (Seamonkey, TB needs an addon), changed 
preferences are bold. Since Mozilla only saves changed preferences in 
prefs.js a diff before/after changing settings can help finding the 
right one.
There is also an addon "preferential" which explains a lot of preferences.
