Can Applescript create or append to a file? You can set preferences by creating or editing a file named user.js in your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder. Because the folder name is semi-randomized, this might be a little difficult to put together.

Some references for further research:

Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
