Ah! OK!

Seems this is from the "Update Channel Selector"-Extension and is used for UPD:
user_pref("extensions.updatechannel.channel", "nightly");
user_pref("extensions.updatechan...@blueprintit.co.uk.install-event-fired", 
true);

I have deactivated this Add-on now...

But what is this:
user_pref("extensions.checkCompatibility.37.0a", true);
user_pref("extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly", true);
