user_pref doesn't work in mozilla.cfg
Also the proper name of the function is lockPref() and not lockpref().

See:

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file: 

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes
