Firefox Preferences Controlled by System Administrators

After finally receiving formal permission to install Firefox on my enterprise laptop, the desktop team decided to set the homepage for all users.  When I'm working on a program and click new tab to do research, going to the company intranet homepage does me no good.  It actually slows down my work.  After some web searches, I found the answer.

As Administrator I edited mozilla.cfg to use Google as my homepage.

I anticipate this will break the next time a Firefox package is pushed to my machine so I wanted to make sure I remembered the fix.
