How do I hide Tabs (General and Security) from the internet options window
I am tying to Hide the General and Security tabs from the Internet options window in firefox so the students cannot access them and reconfigure the browser to save usernames and passwords. It was easy to do with Internet explorer through local group policy.

use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaultspref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changesHamaky an'ity valiny ity @ sehatra 👍 1

this is how it was installed on my machine. I downloaded a "Free Flash Video Converter" from regnows.COM and installed their software. That's when it was placed onto my cpu. I can verify that 2 other machines in my office were infected when downloading this software from their company. Advice is to stay away http://www.regnows.com until they shape up. Their software was great though.
Note: One employee when downloading, was prompted by her anti virus that something was amiss.
