Find the required registry setting, and push it out with Group Policy Preferences. Or search for a Firefox GPO administrative template that has the setting defined.

Mozilla Firefox does not use the registry for storing its configuration. It uses preferences files instead. – eKKiM Jan 02 '18 at 10:55

Firefox doesn't really want to be managed this way, to be honest.

It may be possible to bodge a solution by using a lock file (a mozilla.cfg file, configured as per this mozilla KB article). You can then use a startup/login script in a GPO to push that setting out to all your machines.

However, I personally think this will not be a satisfactory solution in the end. Mozilla simply don't appear interested in creating a system that can be reasonably managed in an enterprise.
