I'm actually trying on FF 10 on a 32bit install.
I've been trying various filenames with those contents (also pref(), 
lock_pref() and lockPref()) in:
/usr/lib/firefox/
/usr/lib/firefox/defaults/
/usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/ (this is where channel-prefs.js 
exists)
I even created /etc/firefox (and a few subdirectories based on a google 
search.
I'm stuck with the "file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html", even after 
clearing out ~/.mozilla.

I'm not looking for theoretical replies, but rather someone who is 
_actually_ doing it and has it working.  There must be someone out there 
who's got this worked out on SL/CentOS/TUV.
