I am installing 57.0.4 32 bit and I have edited the mozilla.cfg to include below string. When i save the mozilla.cfg file and open firefox again, i am getting error Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator. When i remove below string, firefox open as normal. Is there anything else that i need to edit to make sure below string can be use and firefox can open as normal?
