Is it possible to make something that helps me quickly change specific about:config values?

I was wondering if it would be possible to make an extension or something that can change about:config values and provide an easy accessible menu to change specific settings that I need regularly.

For example, recently I am quite often setting network.http.redirection-limit to 0 because website keep redirecting me to login pages and that often helps preventing it. But having that set permanently is really annoying, so I have to visit about:config twice each time. Now if I could pin that setting in an easily accessible menu somewhere, that would be very neat.

When searching, I found that extensions could modify some browser settings but that seems to not include arbitrary about:config values.

Any tips and thoughts would be appreciated.
