Currently, the Camino prefs page at:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/docs/profileprefs.html
doesn't give any user.js prefs. Putting a list of some of the supported prefs
(with descriptions) that are potentially useful enough to make people aware of
them, but not general enough to put in the UI, would be a good compromise
solution between flexibility and pref bloat.
I'm thinking specifically of user_pref("network.cookie.lifetime.enabled", true)
from bug 174070, but I would imagine there are other prefs of a similar nature
that could be added as well.
Reproducible: Always

user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true) from bug 172718 is another
candidate; it's very tricky to make a clear pref for it (without a lot of
javascript handling as well, since the end user doesn't care what makes
something open in a new window) but a useful feature nonetheless.
A few suggestions on cookies:
1. I'm not sure who would be willing to accept one cookie from a site but not another; rather than ask
for all cookies, ask for all sites. The response to the first cookie will be taken as the response to all
from that site.
2. In the "ask" dialog for cookies, have three buttons to respond: Deny, Accept for now, Accept long-
term (or words to that effect). "Accept for now" would discard the cookie upon quit (or after one hour,
or whatever) and ideally, this preference would be saved for the site.
3. There should be a "Deny from off-site" cookies option.

1 & 2 are bug 173521 (which could potentially be re-opened for consideration)
3 is likely to be addressed in bug 182540

Stuart why don't you write the page and attach it here so we can publish it on
mozilla.org ?

I'll get the page written soon. In the mean time, notes about other candidates
for the page:
bug 178944 (browser.cache.disk.capacity, should probably be GUI eventually but
listed until then)
maybe bug 149434 (browser.display.screen_resolution) if it does indeed work
Also, network.cookie.lifetime.enabled is obsolete, so the new pref should be
listed instead.

this should probably be linked off the "tips and tricks" page available from the
help menu.

Other possibilities:
wallet.crypto.autocompleteoverride, if we add support for it
the favicon disabling pref
