Are there any instructions for locking preferences in Firefox 8? I need to prevent users amending the proxy settings.

Created byteshifted mozilla.cfg file called by local-settings.js with line: lock_Pref("network.proxy.type", 0);

Whilst I can launch firefox with no errors, the proxy settings are still available.

Also is it possible to set user preferences and lock them within the same mozilla.cfg file?

The name of the function is lockPref().
Also make sure that the first line is a comment line(//) 

//
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 0);

See:

You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg: 

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes

As well as having an incorrect underscore in the function name I was also byteshifting the mozilla.cfg file. When I amended the function name and left the file in clear text the proxy settings were locked. It won't work with the byteshifted file. Thanks for your help.
