Lockpref settings in ff602 not working as before?
In the past weve used local-settings.js and mozilla.cfg to lock settings on our workstations.. These settings dont seem to take effect in FF6 now.. Is there something I need to do differently?
Mozilla FireFox\defaults\pref\local-settings.js
// pref(“general.config.obscure_value”, 0); pref(“general.config.filename”, “mozilla.cfg”);
Mozilla FireFox\mozilla.cfg
//Firefox Default Settings pref(“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.wsd1.org“); //disable default browser check pref(“browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser”, false); // disable application updates pref(“app.update.enabled”, false); // Do not redirect user to the homepage override URL lockPref(“browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone”, “ignore”); lockPref(“startup.homepage_override_url”, “http://www.wsd1.org”); lockPref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", ""); lockPref("network.proxy.ftp", ""); lockPref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 0); lockPref("network.proxy.gopher", ""); lockPref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 0); lockPref("network.proxy.http", ""); lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 0); lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", ".wsd1.org, .wsd, .wsdcatalogue.org, 10.0.0.0/8, localhost, 127.0.0.1"); lockPref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", false); lockPref("network.proxy.socks", ""); lockPref("network.proxy.socks_port", 0); lockPref("network.proxy.ssl", ""); lockPref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 0); lockPref("network.proxy.type", 0);
Thanks,

I notice that you have some Unicode quotes in your listing : “ “ and ” ” You will have to change those to regular quotes (").
pref(“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.wsd1.org“); pref(“app.update.enabled”, false); lockPref(“browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone”, “ignore”); lockPref(“startup.homepage_override_url”, “http://www.wsd1.org”);Read this answer in context 👍 0

Thankyou!, for showing me again how much I need to check for the simple things first...
