How can we deploy a list of sites for popup blocking exclusion to a large number of Mac clients?
We are deploying Firefox and would like to allow popups for several websites to all users. The client machines are all Macs running at least 10.7. We have access to the systems to run bash scripts remotely. We have to do this on 900 machines. Thank you

Hello,
This extension might be useful to you:

- (alternate download link) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cck2wizard/
From the site: You even have the choice of creating an extension to deploy your changes or using AutoConfig, a powerful mechanism within Firefox for customizing Firefox before you deploy it.
Edit: One of the screenshots on the add-on page show where you can add permissions - https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/previews/full/123/123587.png

I don't see anything regarding popup exclusions

I see. Thanks. How could these settings be deployed for our MAC clients?
With that extension you can create ".xpi" files which contain these settings. Those ".xpi" files can then be placed in the following folder for each computer (unfortunately I am not overly familiar with Macs, so please see the articles below for more information):
- <installation directory>\browser\extensions\
- The next time Firefox is started, user will be prompted to install the settings.
Please see these articles for more information:

Another method would be to use AutoConfig. It seems more versatile, but I have only read about it so you may want to go through it yourself:
