Which prefs, out of curiosity? I could imagine some forms of malware installers clobbering prefs.js values (or even firefox.js/all.js values, if they have appdir write access) incorrectly. If that's what's happening here it should inform our ways of mitigating it. Any way to get more data from the affected installations?
