We block our user's access to about:config in Firefox for security reasons. I need to set the browser.cache.disk.capacity and browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size for a group of users as recommended by an online services provider. Those values are not available under the preferences policy in the ADMX template for Firefox. How can I set these values in group policy? Is there a registry entry I can make? I tried changing them on my computer and then finding the change in the registry but was unable to find the changed values.

See Preferences:

Preferences that start with the browser. prefix are supported.

You might need to set them as user preferences because they are read very early in startup.
