No, it's not possible. It's possible in Ubuntu's Firefox and Debian's Iceweasel packages because of a patch which adds this support. In official Mozilla builds, lockPref only works in mozilla.cfg.

Dirk, have you tried reproducing this in Firefox? I think this might
actually be the answer to the issue:

You need to place syspref.js into
/usr/lib/thunderbird/defaults/preferences/ (not pref)

O.k. - then it seems to be an ubuntu diversion that the "old" location
is still used.

But I ensured that modifying the /etc/thunderbird/sysprefs.js works by adding:
> pref("c42.version.syspref", "$Id: syspref.js 6971 2012-11-20 09:57:26Z
> root@heuler $");
Buf if I add a lockPref() statement, the whole file is ignored.
