Custom Mozilla Firefox Install
I am trying to create a custom Firefox install for deployment on many desktops. I have seen posts saying to create an override.ini file with:
[XRE]
EnableProfileMigrator=false
Also create a mozilla.cfg file with:
//Firefox Default Settings
pref(“browser.startup.homepageâ€Â,â€Âhttp://www.mysite.com“);
//disable default browser check
pref(“browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowserâ€Â, false);
// disable application updates
pref(“app.update.enabledâ€Â, false);
//use classic downloader
pref(“browser.download.useDownloadDirâ€Â, false);
// Do not redirect user to the homepage override URL
lockPref(“browser.startup.homepage_override.mstoneâ€Â, “ignoreâ€Â);
// The URL to use as a homepage when the browser starts after an upgrade
lockPref(“startup.homepage_override_urlâ€Â, “â€Â);
// The URL to display upon loading Firefox with a new profile for the first time
lockPref(“startup.homepage_welcome_urlâ€Â, “â€Â);
// Disables ‘Know your rights’ message on first launch
lockPref(“browser.rights.3.shownâ€Â, true);
// Disables popup-blocker, enabling pop-ups.
lockPref(“dom.disable_open_during_loadâ€Â, false);
// Disables remembering passwords
lockPref(“signon.rememberSignonsâ€Â, false);
// Disables “I am about to enter an encrypted page†warning
lockPref(“security.warn_entering_secureâ€Â, false);
// Automatically Check For Updates to: Installed Add-ons
lockPref(“extensions.update.enabledâ€Â, false);
And finally a local-settings.js with:
pref(“general.config.obscure_valueâ€Â, 0);
pref(“general.config.filenameâ€Â, “mozilla.cfgâ€Â);
I have placed the override.ini and mozilla.cfg in the program files folder and the local-setting.js file in the defaults folder.
However, it will not load my desired homepage and still asks to set as default browser. Am I missing something?
