$ cat /Applications/Firefox.app/defaults/pref/local-settings.js pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // only needed if you do not want to obscure the content with ROT-13 pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

$ cat /Applications/Firefox.app/mozilla.cfg // lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.itsupportguides.com"); lockPref("network.proxy.type", 0);

Restart Firefox but nothing was taking effect for lockPref() on "network.proxy.type" Any ideas?

The mozilla.cfg file works for me.

Just to be sure that the files are in the correct location:

The local-settings.js file needs to be in /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/defaults/pref The mozilla.cfg file needs to be in /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources
