Use Firefox's preferences to determine proxy settings for javaws

This patch adds support for finding, parsing and using basic information from
Firefox's preferences to determine the correct proxy to use for javaws. Only
the preferences from Firefox's default profile are used.

Support for PAC, System or Automatic settings is not yet implemented.
