cfg-files with FF65 RR not working with browser.startup.homepage
So, I am deploying the FF65, the RR version - somehow since FF62 there seems to be an issue with the cfg-files. Or did I miss something? I know that the ESR now supports the GPOs, but I am trying to use the latest version.
I have tried to use (i.e I have used "faz.net" for website):
ABC("browser.startup.homepage","https://www.faz.net"); ABC("startup.homepage_override_url","https://www.faz.net"); ABC("startup.homepage_welcome_url","https://www.faz.net");
whereas I used for ABC the listed parameters: lockPref DefaultPref Pref
None of those 3 sets work, the other settings are set. If I verify these settings on "about:config" the above listed entries show "about:homepage" and "about:welcome".
Would anyone of you be able to verify this please? Any ideas how to solve this? Thank you.

The function names are case sensitive as is a requirement fir JavaScript. I think that lockPref() should work. The defaultPref() function call needs special handling for localized (complex) prefs.
- defaultPref("browser.startup.homepage", "data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=https://www.faz.net");
defaultPref(); // set new default value, requires special data: format for localized prefs pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
The autoconfig.js file in the "defaults/pref" folder (same folder as channel-prefs.js).
//
pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
The autoconfig.cfg and autoconfig.js files need to start with a comment line (//).
