I hope you have used ActiveSetup to configrue the user setting.. In that case, you should not do Switch User.. Instead, Log off and log in.. it should work

During the first snapshot, i have installed Firefox and défined the homepage and others setting

I'd like to know a way to customize a FF package too. Perhaps you have had previous local install of FF vs. a global installation? Your profile may have used an existing FF profile.

the trick is in the C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/blaetn5c.default
Using active setup you need to replace that file so everyone points to the same profile directory path. Also push the appropriate profile directory under profiles that way everyone gets the settings you created with your base user. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
Possibly a group policy setting that is causing the problem

This is a very good demonstration.
I tested this method, the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\<UID> was copied in HKCU but it didn't works. i still have the same problem of settig ( homepage, turn off of updates..) :(
Any others ideas please

you will also need to sync the files in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\ to get the settings you want. All the settings are in a file not the registry. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago

Ensure that you are keeping the files in right place in the msi.. - jagadeish 11 years ago
