Hi All, I am trying to deploy Firefox 24.3 ESR. I have configured the original toolbar menu to be without the download and bookmarks menu, leaving only the home button, but I can't figure out how to put the changed localstore.rdf into the install files\user profile when FF is run for the first time for that user. It keeps overwriting it. I have put a copy in the install location of {source}\core\browser\defaults\profile, the install copies it to the new user profile, but when FF opens, it overwrites it. I can copy in the mod file and it will use it after then, but don't want to script an install for this, as it is going into a Thinapp format once complete. Has anybody managed to force in saved copy of localstore.rdf in a recent copy of FF I tried to follow this (http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/30/customizing-firefox-default-profiles/) but the onmi.ja turned out to be broken.

Thanks in advance

Chosen solution

I worked out, I can Thinapp FF. - open the capture - pre-scan - install modified FF - open FF - close FF - copy localstore.rdf to user profile - post-scan - save Thinapp

DONE!!
