Comment(by Drzraf):

 having the list in prefs.js is obviously suboptimal: from a maintenance
 POV it should clearly move in its own file.
 But is it possible to switch to a simple text-based file (like an ini-file
 or so) so that it's easily understandable, editable, versionable, ...
 Maybe a sqlite db (if really needed from a performance POV) could be used
 as an optional cache mechanism, rebuilt as needed at browser startup ?
