You're not blind - I've had a look and the batch file itself is my
creation from scratch. The content of it however is learned mostly if
not entirely from those pages I mentioned. Here's the crux of it:
--cut--
set SED="%PROGRAMFILES%\GnuWin32\bin\sed.exe"
:: Disable import wizard
copy %SOURCE%\override.ini "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\"
:: Set default homepage
C:
cd "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox"
ren browserconfig.properties browserconfig.properties.moe_orig
type browserconfig.properties.moe_orig | %SED% -r
s/^browser.startup.homepage=.*/browser.startup.homepage=http:\/\/intranet/
> browserconfig.properties
:: Set default proxies
C:
cd "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs"
copy all.js all.js.moe_orig
type all.js | %SED% -r
s/^pref(.*network.proxy.autoconfig_url.*);/pref(\"network.proxy.autoconfig_url\",\"http:\/\/intranet\/proxy.pac\");/
> tmp.js
type tmp.js | %SED% -r
s/^pref(.*network.proxy.type.*);/pref(\"network.proxy.type\",2);/ > all.js
del tmp.js
--cut--
(override.ini is an empty file)

That's the precise downside that has sent me running from repackaging,
leaving it as a last resort. I'm now returning to it for another package
on a much slower release cycle (ie one we develop entirely in house).
