JS script not loaded in pref directory
Hi all
I have distributed a .js file via gpo to the default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\
It seems like it is only loaded on the very first boot. Once I disable the setting on about:config, the js file will not load / apply once I restart firefox.
The file looks like this(enableroot.js):
/* Allows Firefox reading Windows certificates */ pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled", true);
I searched this and wasn't able to find any solution. Does anyone have experience with it?
best regards,
Trennety

Hi trennety:
I can't answer your questions since I know nothing about using Firefox in an enterprise setting using GPO but I'm assuming it's in an enterprise setting.
So I changed the product to Firefox for Enterprise
Maybe the folks can help you there:
- maybe it's in the docs? : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox-enterprise
- maybe it's answered in the enterprise support forum already?
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/firefox-enterprise
- If not maybe you ask on the Enterprise mailing list?
https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise (or it's already been answered in the archives)
Cheers!

There are other ways to make Firefox import certificates from the Windows certificate store.

Hi Roland,
The GPO only copies the .js file into the defaults/pref dirctory. That works perfectly fine and I am not setting anything within firefox via GPO.
The file is copied fine but when I change the security.enterprise_roots.enabled to false and then restart firefox, it seems like the .js file is not loaded.
So is there a setting which sets back the options or disabled the load of such specific .js files?
As far as I have seen the autoconfig uses the same mechanic. In my opinion the load of the .js files within default/pref should work but apparently most of the times they don't.
Hi all
I've solved it on another way. Best was to implement the admx file via gpo and set the appropriate settings located under: computer configuration>policies>administrative templates>mozilla>firefox>certificates>use windows certificates
ADMX available under: https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases
In case anyone has the same problem.
Thanks again ;)
Bet regards,
Trennety
Hi Trennety
Glad you got it working! Thanks for documenting, I bet somebody else in the Firefox for Enterprise "world" :-) will benefit from your hard work.
Cheers and Happy Holidays!
