Explanation of about:config preferences names groups

While browsing through insides of Firefox and trying to do some mumbo-jumbo around TLS Handshake options in about:config, I began to ask myself and attempting to find out any information about preference grouping. All preferences are generally sorted into few main groups like browser., dom., security., app., etc. Since I couldn't find any explanation of them, I would like to ask about naming all of them and explaining what are they responsible for overall and I don't mean specific, for example, "geo.provider.network.url" but what "geo." is responsible for and so on. Up to this point, I was able to learn some of it by myself, but right now I'm stuck at viewing not the whole picture. Any help would be much appreciated! 😄
