Mozilla.cfg file is not loading in my 21.0 version; how can I customize deployment?

Question

I need to deploy a customized configuration for a limited access network, and have created a custom mozilla.cfg file. It appears as though mozilla.cfg is not being read. I have intentionally created errors in the local-settings.js file, and it will throw errors (even when it cannot find the mozilla.cfg file). When I create errors in the mozilla.cfg file, however, no errors are thrown and no changes are made to the applications configuration.

Some remarks:
*You wrote 'Try {' with a capital.
*The value of these prefs is a string value and thus requires quotes:<br />lockPref("network.proxy", 192.168.100.1);<br />lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
* true/false also need to be lowercase.
toolkit.telemetry.prompted is an integer pref as you can see on the <b>about:config</b> page
* lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2);
Note that you have this line twice:
*lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
