Firefox about:config Menu Shortcut
Yes we can still create uc.js in 2022. MDN no longs serve the XUL doc. However we can search their archived doc repo, e.g. https://github.com/mdn/archived-content/search?q=nsIPrefServ...

Information or Documentation
MDN used to have some good documentation, back before webextensions when it was expected that third-party addon developers would be modifying the frontend directly. that's no longer supported though, so all those juicy pages on XUL and XPCOM have been removed. they can still be found on here but not in a very useful format.

How can I add extra elements?
it's archived on here but the pictures are missing so it's just... fucked honestly. I am so frustrated and aggravated by this. it makes it that much harder for someone to pick this up as a hobby, which makes it that much harder for firefox to find new contributors. anyway, frame scripts are a bit annoying to use. but since about:newtab is a firefox system page (it has a system principal), addons can't inject anything into it either. so you couldn't use greasemonkey or something.

Firefox about:config Menu Shortcut
Wow, you can still use userchrome js nowadays? I thought it has been killed by Firefox long time ago. How exactly do you load it?
The tool I used before [1] https://github.com/satyr/uc hasn't been updated since 2016, and http://userchromejs.mozdev.org/ is entirely gone.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing archived-content and uc you can also consider the following projects:
add-custom-search-engine - Add a custom search engine to the list of available search engines in Firefox
aboutconfig-menu - Shortcuts to settings in about:config (universal), through a button on toolbar. Firefox userChrome script 🛠️
firefox-scripts - userChromeJS / autoconfig.js and extensions
