or, open up a blank tab & type in the address bar:
about:config
then filter for "proxy"
those are your settings for proxies.
now, do that before and after you set a proxy.
now you know what you need to configure.
put those settings into the user.js file in each user's profile.
boom! you're done!
(if you need help with the layout of the user.js file, let me
know ... attached is mine, for instance).

Hello all,
Is there a way to autoconfigure Firefox to use an http-proxy?
At ByteWorks, all the browsers are configured for direct access to the
web. This unfortunately means that when we instruct students to
visit a
website, they all hit the same website and download the same data
at the
same time, which slows everyone down. So, we recently set up squid to
proxy http requests. Is there an easy way to tell all the browsers to
now use the proxy server (e.g. via DHCP or DNS), or do we have to
configure Firefox manually? A google search finds mostly pages
explaining how to manually configure browsers to use a proxy, so I
guessing it's a manual process.
Regards,
- Robert
