I have done a large amount of research on this subject. I have all my settings the way I want them. I however cannot get the mozilla.cfg file to work. I have pointed to it in the all.js which resides in the grpref folder and placed mozilla.cfg in progrma files\Mozilla Firefox. I have tried with both plain text and setting the obscure value to 0. I have also tried the online byteshift 13 converter and changed obscure value to 13. I have also used the try catch (e) statement to try and obtain more information.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

After settings were configured

User Agent

Do you see any errors in the Tools > Error Console?

Can you post the content of mozilla.cfg (mozilla.ext unencrypted)? Make sure that the file starts with a line that only has //

You can also place another js file (e.g. local-settings.js) in the greprefs of defaults\pref folder to avoid modifying all.js
