I have gone through and configured my own configuration file, and everything is great, except we want to remove the option for users to accidentally click the "Make Default" option in the preferences menu. Alternative, I would hope this also removed the check box to ask if firefox should be the default.

I have it set to not ask, but we don't want users to click that box, if we have the ability to remove the "Make Default" button.

Does not appear to be something I can set in the registry, but if there is a registry entry to remove or grey out this button, that would also work for me.

Thanks,

Are you using a mozilla.cfg file to set the defaults or do you do this with a file in the profile folder?

You can lock a specific pref via the mozilla.cfg fil to make it impossible for users to change the pref that is bound to this setting.

  • lockPref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
