Just updated
http://wpkg.org/Firefox#Firefox_with_extensions_and_default_profile
to Firefox 3.

For proxy distribution you should have at least the following in
packages/mozilla/fx_profile/defaults/profile/prefs.js:

// ### Proxy Settings ###
    // Configure Proxies to Access the Internet
    // 0 = direct 1 = manual 2 = PAC 3 -> mapped to 0 4 = Auto-detect
proxy settings for this network
    user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);
    // <Protocol> Proxy: hostname or IPv4 is acceptable. IPv6 needs to
be tested.
    // Port: 0 will cause server:port preference for that manual proxy
type to be ignored. 1-65xxx is valid range
    user_pref("network.proxy.http", "proxy");
    user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 3128);
    user_pref("network.proxy.ssl", "proxy");
    user_pref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 3128);
    user_pref("network.proxy.ftp", "proxy");
    user_pref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 3128);
    user_pref("network.proxy.gopher", "proxy");
    user_pref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 3128);
    user_pref("network.proxy.socks", "");
    user_pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 0);
    // Socks Version: 4 | 5 (default)
    user_pref("network.proxy.socks_version", 5);
    // Comma-separated list of site or IP ranges where proxy server
should be bypassed
    user_pref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1");
    // URL specifying where to find the autoproxy config file. Default:
Empty
    user_pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "");
    user_pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", false);
    // externes ftp programm
    //user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.ftp", true);
    //user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "c:\...\...ftp.exe");

If needed, the use and configuration of extension xyzproxy or
switchproxy is possible, too.

Best regards and good luck,
Falko
