Changing preferences in about:config

I have created a .js file for changing preferences in the about:config window. I know my placement of the file in the Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref folder is correct because 99% of my settings take hold after I drop in the file. For some reason the following preference does not want to change:

pref("dom.ipc.plugins.enabled", false);

I have tried everything that I can think of to get this setting to change its default value but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm curious why you are using that method to initialize prefs. It is not an official and recommended way to put a file in this location.
