Hello all, I would like to set a default webpage and set a proxy setting globally for Our Firefox users. I tried a couple of the firefox group policy add-on. One worked then stopped working (buggy) The other one worked well but ff was just a small part of the program so they would not sell just the ff gpo add on. so I am thinking is there a script or another program or something you firefox gurus can recommended and use something that can be used in a enterprise environment?

You can 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 defaults\pref 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 changes

so how do I deploy it, is it a script or a program or a group policy add-on?
