Firefox doesn't store much in the registry.  Use about:config in the
address bar, check and set the various settings you want to make. Then
look in the prefs.js file to see what changes were set, this file can
then be deployed to each user's profile using a lock_pref or user_pref
depending if you want the user to be able to change the setting or not.

The difficult part is that if you did not create a default profile for
each user you will need to resolve each users profile name from the
profiles.ini file. After that you will need to add the various
lock_prefs to the prefs.js file.  Doing this all with a script would
require some complex code, since you will need to ensure that certain
prefs are not entered twice, etc.

The easiest way to make this change would be to nuke all of the users
existing configuration choices. Creative users can still override these
lock_prefs if they know what they are doing, since they need change
access to the file.

Looking for a .adm policy file to set firefox settings on the Terminal
Server or even domain-wide. Has any been spotted in the wild?
