Retrieving Firefox Proxy Info in Windows

Is there any way to progamatically retrieve the proxy information used by Firefox in Windows 2k/XP/Vista? The information I have found thus far is kind of vague, and I was unable to find any substantial sample code. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I believe that would mean reading and processing FireFox's configuration files.

There's a prefs.js file in C:\Documents and Settings\CURRENT_USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\CURRENT_PROFILE\.

Code:

---

//if this line is not present, proxys are off, if the value is 1,
//then it's user-specified proxies, if 2, then automatic detection
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);
//if this line is present and with the value true, then FireFox uses the same proxy for all protocols
user_pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
//the proxys and ports (only present if they are set)
user_pref("network.proxy.ftp", "ftp.example.com");
user_pref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 21);
user_pref("network.proxy.gopher", "gopher.example.com");
user_pref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 150);
user_pref("network.proxy.http", "www.example.com");
user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 80);
user_pref("network.proxy.socks", "whatever.com");
user_pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 999);
user_pref("network.proxy.ssl", "ssl.com");
user_pref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 132);
//specifies the socks version of proxies (only present if value is 4)
user_pref("network.proxy.socks_version", 4);

Thank you for the reply. I know there is API available to handle this. Are you familiar with it at all or know of any sites with example code for it? Thanks again.
