How to Manually Change connection settings in Firefox/Mozilla


Hi,

I want to manually set the connection settings (proxy servers etc..) in Firefox, without using the GUI Preferences thingy.
I mean if you can set it on the GUI, it has to be storing those settings somewhere in some file or something for persistance, if I manually change the file I might be able to change the proxy server settings for firefox.

Does anyone know where this file is?
