Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to create a new SCCM deployment package using Firefox 50.0. Sadly the .cfg file seem not working. My aim is to disable the auto update function that is working well manually via the about:config.

my local-settings.js contains: pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

mozilla.cfg: //disable application updates Pref('app.update.enabled', false); Pref('app.update.auto', false);

As I read the .cfg is not error tolerated, but it does not work: (for e.g: pref('browser.startup.homepage', 'http://www.google.com'); is also not working.

Any advice?

Thank you in advance!

Hello ideato,

Thank you for your fast response and help. Indeed, I forgot to add the second line of the file, and I also find some syntax error on my mozilla.cfg file.

With your advice and some recheck the problem is gone now.

Thank you once again! :)
