number (integer) replace within script

[Briandr]

Hi,

I found this script someone else posted who was asking for help. This pertains to customizing Firefox settings. I been following Mozilla's guide but I wanted to try a different approach. I think this is correct except for I don't how to code this for a number replace as seen in the settings I am trying to change. Can someone assist? 

Thanks.

; wait for Firefox to close because the prefs.js will be overwritten when Firefox closes and the changes we make will be lost
ProcessWaitClose("firefox.exe")

I went back in and revised the code above. Orginally this was only intended to change on Firefox setting. The last If-EndIf section related to changing the preferences file. That applied for just one setting. How can this be changed to cover all settings needing to be changed, if need be based upn the settings I am checking. Can someone also tell me if something looks incorrect with the code as whole? 

Thanks
