defining global values by default in firefox 37.0.2

Hi team,

I'm having issues affecting the Firefox default values for all users within our office environment managed. I read that you can use a mozilla.cfg and a local - settings.js. However, it doesn't seem to work. I also read on the grepref all.js file. But I can't see that on our installation of anywhere.

Can you please help us help to set default preferences for all users that connect through our terminal Server farm. The links I used as references are below:
http://Ilias.ca/blog/2005/03/locking-Mozilla-Firefox-settings/
http://KB.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

Any help would be great.

You can make the changes in Firefox through the user interface or directly on: config and then check the file prefs.js after closing Firefox.

You can copy lines to mozilla.cfg user_pref and change user_pref() to lockPref() calls.
The mozilla.cfg file is executed as a JavaScript files with full chrome privileges and so may contain more parameters of pref, but any errors in the file will throw an exception and abandon.

The mozilla.cfg file must begin with a comment line (/ /) (this first line will be skipped).

use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify new values (default).

Put a local file - settings.js in the folder defaults\pref also the file prefs.js - channel where to specify using mozilla.cfg.

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:

defaultPref();	// set new default value
pref();		// set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref();	// lock pref, disallow changes

  • How can I stop the default "Moxilla Firefox Start Page" video display?

    By default 'Moxilla Firefox Start Page' has recently begun to show a video simulating an old arcade game.
    I want a Spartan static default start page with simple search functions.
    In part because the video is blocking the remote office. But also because even if the video is slightly amusing for the first 10 seconds, after that it's just an annoying distraction.

    A solution that turns off all the video up to active manually would be good.
    Otherwise, I could give up on the thread of Mozilla. The old static start page is available in the form of file static I could download and then set as the start page? Average I would go next to the dissemination of messages Moxilla would send more than page, but that would be better than putting in place with the current page.

  • Who maintains the US English Dictionary by default for Firefox?

    I would like to contribute to the dictionary that comes with FF. It seems it is listed as an add-on, but since it installs by default (and unless this bug has been fixed, cannot be changed) I'm not clear if this is the same dictionary or another dictionary to English US. Who would I talked that helps keep the default dictionary?

    The default dictionary is not an add-on, its default in Firefox. If you want to propose words for the dictionary, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499593 has a list of words that should be added.

  • Is the function of "Subscribe to this Page" by default in Firefox, an RSS reader?

    Hello world

    Does anyone know if the "Subscribe to this Page" feature by default in Firefox is an RSS reader?

    For example, I want to subscribe to some articles, etc, and my research has suggested I install Feedly (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ad.../feedly/), I have now. However, I have noticed while playing that in Firefox, the feature to subscribe to a page offers this too - but is equivalent to the function of Firefox an RSS reader?

    Thanks in advance
    Y2J

    I'm glad that I could be sure of you.

    Please use the Mozilla support forums.

    I hope that you will continue to use Firefox and other Mozilla products.

  • The value of default setting in organization, self recording reqest

    Hello

    When the end-user function triggers a request for free registration, it goes to the Manager's approval. And the Manager must update this request with the value of the organization manually. Is it possible to set a value by default to this?

    Please let me know.

    You must create a pre-populate for this adapter.

    Use the code to achieve the same below.

    import java.io.Serializable;

  • Value of default field after losing focus

    I have a field called P21_IDCODE. If the user perforations or click on this field, then clicks or tablets so that the field loses focus, I want to check if the field is empty and fill it with a value by default if it is empty. I created a dynamic Action with these settings:

    Event: Lose Focus
    Type of selection; Agenda
    Article: P21_IDCODE
    Condition: No conditional dynamic Action

    Real action settings:
    Action: Set
    Fires when the result of the event is: true
    Fire on loading the page: unchecked
    Stop execution error: unchecked
    Set type: Expression JavaScript
    Expression of JavaScript:
    If (P21_IDCODE is nothing)
    {P21_IDCODE = "My value"}
    Affected elements... Selection type: trigger Element

    If I just use a simple string as "My value" in the JavaScript expression, this works, so I know the theme is losing the ceremony working.

    What I am doing wrong in the JavaScript?

    Hello!

    Try this:

    If ($v ('P21_IDCODE' == null))
    {
    $s ('P21_IDCODE', 'Value')';
    or
    document.getElementById('P21_IDCODE').value = "my value";
    }

  • How to create a default profile for all users of a computer under Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions greater than 8? I would that all new users on a computer to get the same values by default, homepage, bookmarks, etc...

    I found some help on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions greater than 8. There must be a way to do this for imaging large scale.

    Have you created a defaults\profile in the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)?

    All files in this folder will be moved into each newly created profile folder.

    To give the prefs a default, it is best to do this via a mozilla.cfg file.

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify default values.

    Place a local file - settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you will also find the channel - prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg file.

    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    

    See:

    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:

    defaultPref();  // set new default value
    pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes

  • I read the advice about the links of email that does not open in Firefox and I reset the value by default as suggested. I seem to have "lost" all of my downloads?

    Hello
    I had problems with links in emails not open their web pages when I clicked on them. I've read some of the info on the help and decided to reset default Firefox. Later, I realized that my "downloads" had been removed. Is it possible to restore these because they are all related to Internet Marketing elements such as plugins, I downloaded ebooks, scripts etc etc?
    I work on Windows XP
    I looked in the folder that was created automatically by Firefox on reset but I can not find them in there!
    Any suggestions please?

    You are the very welcome, Trevor. I'm glad everything worked out for you.

    I have watched all of the items above and decided that I had no desire to create a new profile. I simply removed the add-on of the appearance of seven 2.0.2 and the problem seems to have disappeared. (Touch wood!)
