I'm on fire today!  I found it (though many thanks for the suggestions)

I noticed that every users profile has a file prefs.js.....so I then
searched the computer to see if there was a "master" prefs file...and
there is....in  /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/defaults/profile/   This is where
the initial "pull" of prefa comes from....so I simply set the proxy
settings for one user....then looked at their prefs.js file.....copied the
lines with the proxy info.....and pasted into
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/defaults/profile/ prefs.js  and voila!  that is now
the default!  Yay!
