Changing configuration (Tools | Options) or setting properties in
<about:config>about:config just adds or changes lines in the
prefs.js file under the user's Firefox profile
(C:\Users\%username%\appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\randomProfile.default
on Win7).
The biggest caveats are that Firefox can not be running at the time
and of course it's unsupported if anything goes wrong.
Interestingly enough, the prefs.js file doesn't include at least some
of the settings when they are left at defaults. So for instance:
browser.tabs.animate, network.http.pipelining, and
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests all weren't in my prefs.js until
I changed them from their default settings.
So if I append these new settings to the prefs.js, that should do the
trick for that user. How do I make it a global update?
