lockPref and defaultPref are the way to go. Example of in-production usage:
lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
// prevent passwords from being saved
defaultPref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 1024);
// 1mb of disk space for cache
defaultPref("browser.cache.disk.enable", true);
// enable the above
defaultPref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", -1);
// dynamic setting based on ram in machine
defaultPref("browser.cache.memory.enable", true);
// enable the above
Do note that there are *some* preferences that simply will not lock, and
there are some that will not default. Specifically, I encountered
issues with defaulting the homepage in Firefox 3.5. In Thunderbird (and
to a lesser extent in Firefox), there are groups of settings that must
all be locked before settings will actually lock. This led to a
non-intuitive approach for locking SMTP settings, among other
interesting things. My point: you may have to lock/default more
settings than you would initially think.
I've locked down my deployment of Thunderbird and Firefox using locked
and default preferences. You can do some pretty cool things with it in
Thunderbird, especially if your organization uses a single-sign on
technology and has an LDAP server.

Hi,
I want to set the Proxy of Firefox. So I used the tutorial at wpkg.org
<http://wpkg.org>. Works fine, but these are only "locked" settings.
Is there a way to set Proxy - but unlocked - so that every user could
change it individually?
I think instead of "lockPref" you would have to use just "pref".
But you may want to experiment a bit yourself.
