[olug] Controlling user's ability to change Firefox configs

[Trent Melcher]

You could go another route......  Actually have your proxy listening on
say port 8080 and redirect all outbound traffic to port 80 to port 8080
so it has to go out through your proxy.  I use dansguardian squid and IP
tables to accomplish this in a remote office, that has their own
internet connection instead of going through our corporate network.
