List of Firefox and Chrome arguments/preferences

As a tester,
I would like to study a list of possible configuration arguments for Firefox and Chrome,
So that I can configure my testing tools with knowledge.

Reading API indicates that there are methods with whom we can pass arguments to a webdriver instance:

FirefoxOptions.AddArgument
FirefoxOptions.SetLoggingPreference (inherited from DriverOptions)
FirefoxOptions.SetPreference

What exactly can be the possible arguments passed to these methods and what they do?
Is there a resource online with a detailed list per each browser?

I'm currently using following arguments in Chrome. Hope this would help someone. The names of the arguments are easy to understand since it makes sense.

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");
chromeOptions.addArguments("start-maximized");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--start-fullscreen");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-popup-blocking");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--dns-prefetch-disable");
chromeOptions.addArguments("enable-automation");
chromeOptions.addArguments("disable-features=NetworkService");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
