Note that you have a trailing comma before a closing '}': "Locked": true, A comma is only required as a separator and should never be present before a closing '}' You can't only use "Proxy": {"Locked": true}, you need to specify params like the "Mode" that you want to lock. 

{
 "policies": {
   "Proxy": {
     "Locked": true,
     "Mode": "system"
   }
 }
}

You can possibly use a policy to lock network (proxy) settings.

I will move the thread to Firefox for Enterprise.

@ Mike Kaply: 

"Mode": "none", "system", "manual", "autoDetect", "autoConfig",

Shouldn't this be; 

"Mode": "none" | "system" | "manual" | "autoDetect" | "autoConfig",
