There are a lot ways you can approach this problem, one way is ( more ways to be followed by our team ):

Code:
sed 's/.*"\(.*\)"[^"]*$/\1/'
user_pref("mail.server.server15.realhostname", "mail24b.someplace.net");
mail24b.someplace.net

Explanation:
  • s/.*"\(.*\)"[^"]*$/\1/ : substitute only the final "" double quoted content.
  • second line is input,
  • third line is the output.
