You can not use the Windows registry to disable items in Firefox. This link shows how to lock down Firefox proxy settings, change the values to suit your needs: http://www.stbernard.com/ip5kb/iPrism/WhatsNew/50SupportFiles/SupportFiles/IP0460.htm

One minor variation, in step 4 instead of adding that line to all-js, you can create a file called local-settings.js containing the line shown and save the file in the same folder as all.js
