Indeed, it's a bit more complex.

I can tell you how to do it if you promise to commit it to the wiki :)

So, first, create a file with your custom preferences, like:


lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ftp", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ftp_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.gopher", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.gopher_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.socks", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.socks_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ssl", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ssl_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.ftp", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.gopher", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.http", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 3128);

lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "192.168.*,localhost,127.0.0.1, 
glpi, glpi.internal.domain");

lockPref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
lockPref("network.proxy.socks", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.socks_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.ssl", "proxy.server");
lockPref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);


lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "glpi, 
glpi.internal.domain");


Then, you need to convert this file - you can do it on:

http://www.alain.knaff.lu/%7Eaknaff/howto/MozillaCustomization/cgi/byteshf.cgi

At the end of all.js file, add (just take this file from Mozilla Firefox 
dir):

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");


So, a batch for your preferences will look like that:

copy /y %SOFTWARE%\firefox\all.js "C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs\"
copy /y %SOFTWARE%\firefox\mozilla.cfg "C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\"
echo
