lock preferences
I'm trying to lock down thunderbird preferences for our company clients. Following the instructions on
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
I created a the file
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\pref\local-settings.js
with the following content
//
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 0);
Checking the effects with about:config still says user-setting for the proxy.type entry.
Trying to load a "mozilla.cfg" in the installation directory and configure it in "local-settings.js" does not work either...
My version of thunderbird is 45.2.0
Is there any way to lock down preferences with "defaults\pref\local-settings.js" ?

ok I completely copied the filenames and contents from the Locking_preferences page and then it is working as expected
but why have two files with one file only loading the other and not beeing able to use random filenames....
seems a little unintuitive...
But many thanks for your support!!

User set means the value is "non default" as 0 is non default for that setting then you are seeing the result of your setting change.
You will not See "locked" The inability of the user to change the setting to something else is what you have achieved, not a notice to the user.
I deleted the proxy.type setting from prefs.js
Now it shows network.proxy.type=5 as Standard. Since I'm setting 0 in defaults\pref\local-settings.js it seems not to work... An I can also edit the setting as I like and that editing is preserved over reboot. So locking is not working... What is wrong?
hmm are you using the same case in he file name in prefs and the file system. Aas we are dealing with javascript is you have Mozilla.cfg and mozilla.cfg they will not be seen as the same file name
