Hi All,

I'm using Firefox on 24 PC's in a primary school computer Lab, I have had reports of students installing extensions and plugins that i wish to stop, also i've had issues with students not signing out of their email and other students gaining access.

Im looking for solutions for the following and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction -

1. Disabling the installations of extensions and plugins. 2. Clearing browsing history/logging out of any accounts. 3. Locking settings so students can't change settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Adam

See policies like ExtensionSettings and SanitizeOnShutdown and DisableSafeMode. You can also block access to some about: pages.

Let me know if you need any specifics, but the above links should cover what you need.

You mean search engine plugins? as normally when one says Plugins they are referring to NPAPI Plugins which are no longer allowed to run in Firefox for years now anyways. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/npapi-plugins
