Hello,

until yet, we preconfigured FF in defaults/pref/firefox.js for our users.

Today I downloaded FireFox 4. But this version doesn't have the firefox.js any more. If I place my old file at the location where it was bevore and most of the options are recognized and working. But some are not.

I set/unset this options and watched the changes in prefs.js in my user profile. The name of the options/parameters are still the same. But they doesn't seem to be used from the firefox.js any more.

Examples are: pref("app.update.enabled", false); pref("browser.search.update", false); pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", true);

What is the new way to preconfigure FireFox 4 for all users?

See: 

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref();  // lock pref, disallow changes

But ... I would like just to inialize, not to lock. What way to do this ?

Thank for your help.

Ludovic.

Finaly I just change "lockPref" by "pref" ! And it works fine.

@Ludovic: Where did you do the change? In "about:config"? The options you can set there are profile based only.

What is needed is a ***simple*** way to (p)reconfigure a Firefox 4 installation as in:

  • Run Firefox-Installer
  • Copy settings-file somewhere
  • have your default settings as a base for all profiles created

???

BTW.:

A file "firefox.js" put into "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref" does NOT do this job. The entries made there are:

  • pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true); // use the same proxy settings for all protocols
  • pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url"; "http://server/proxy.pac");
  • pref("network.proxy.type"; 2);

On Linux Firefox 4, go to main install on firefox/defaults and create a dir called preferences (there is one dir called pref, but ignore it). Create the file prefs.js inside this dir

cd firefox/defaults; mkdir preferences; cd preferences; vi prefs.js;

Add your preferences like:

pref("app.update.enabled", false);

Restart firefox
