We have Firefox running on 2008 Server R2. We need to change several options (ie; turning off updates, turning off autoscrolling, etc) for all users. Both new and existing. I can find the pref.js file including my changes. How to i get that file to effect all users - new and existing?

Thanks so much!!!

Not really the place for such questions. We are Firefox users helping other end users & not dealing with Firefox deployment in a corporate environment. You are probably better off using Firefox ESR and asking on their mailing list, rather than using the standard Release.

Each Firefox user will have there own Firefox profile and their own prefs.js file.

You may deploy Firefox and lock settings using a mozilla.cfg file Firefox deployments can make changes from the default on all of your installs. See
