Are the proxy settings in about:config available in a file I can then place on other tablets?

We are planning to use FireFox for Android on tablets at my office due to the availability to use a proxy. These will be going to a 30 user pilot group and then deployed to more employees later.

Are these settings in a file I can extract and then place on future tablets so we don't have to manually enter them on each tablet? We will be using a Device Management client that should be able to push this file to the device. The devices will be unrooted, stock Android.

hello, the firefox profile folder on android is placed in /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/[random string of eight characters].default/

the path to the profile folder is specified in (& possibly can be altered through) /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/profiles.ini

all the settings are stored in the prefs.js file inside the profile folder, like on desktop versions of firefox.
