Deploying Firefox for the Enterprise

more options

I'm wanting to customise and administer firefox for our company. Unfortunately it doesn't use registry settings so not so easy.

Mostly I need to change and enforce the homepage, proxy settings and do silent install ect. I know I can use the .ini file for the install and precreate the user.js and prefs.js. I would prefer to just use the existing .msi from www.frontmotion.com/Firefox and change the settings after incase the values change. The users prefs.js and user.js will be backed up to the network so next time it is installed it restores the pref files. I'm using Zenworks to deploy it so I can silently install no problems.

How is anyone else doing this?

Perhaps appending to user.js would work best. Problem for me would be identifying the random location of the profile folder...
