Our company decided to use Firefox for an implementation and we need to remotely set all systems to empty cache on exit
We need to find, either a registry key or setting that can be deployed to all our computers. Specifically, it is to clear the disk cache files on exit. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

hello hernandm, you can use the method described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences to deploy certain settings. put the following code into the mozilla.cfg file to force firefox installations to clear the cache at shutdown:
//
lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);
lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.formdata", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.history", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.openWindows", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings", false);
Great philipp; thank you very much!
I'll have our packager add this to the installer she built. Also, i'll look at the kb since we've been asked as well to change this setting for existing installations. If you have that info handy I will appreciate it very much if you can share it too.
Again, thank you vey much.
you're very welcome :))
if you can put the mozilla.cfg & \defaults\pref\local-settings.js files into existing firefox program directories in an automated way, this will also have an effect for those installations as soon as the browser is launched the next time...
