merge with deployed FireFox favorite silently

Hi all
I am trying to create a deployment for FireFox on our network of company (always under XP).
{There is the problem that I have, / a lot of people who already have a manually installed installed FF version and I need to create a deployment that "takes over" the current installation, including all the settings for the %userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{FF.profile}.
Located in this path is the file places.sqlite to bookmarks. If I were to create a full copy on / editing of the %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox and the location of the profile above, would give a nice clean install of SOE, he would write more than the currently marked with a bookmark URL.
Part of the deployment, asked me to provide 6 URL in bookmarks.

Here's the tricky question (Google failed me on this one here), how can I inject 6 URL (preferably at the top of the bookmarks) in the deployment of FF without wiping the current bookmarks belonging to the user and still 'clean' installation completely silently?

is it possible to list them in mozilla.cfg, prefs.js or something for the injection to the deployment?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Edit: even if I run the wizard import in silence, that would be ok as well.

right - it sounds like this cannot be done using a feature of Mozilla. I had to write a script for (on screen) buttons to open the library, import the bookmarks to the server (env var) file type and location of the file.
I have written in Autoit 3.3.8.1. I won't post here, because of our policy work, it was developed in the time of work, it is up to the job.
The script is close to 180 lines, took me about a week to write (not a very experienced scripter) with full error checking and window existence of. However, with the way some of the FF Windows are written, there is no element of control to identify and use some windows and buttons.

If you me message I might be able to guide you in the right direction

  • deploy Firefox with localstore.rdf changed for all users

    Hi all
    I'm trying to deploy Firefox 24.3 ESR. I have configured the original menu of the toolbar to be without downloading and the menu bookmarks, leaving only the home button, but I can't figure out how to put the localstore.rdf changed in the files\user install profile when FF is run for the first time for this user. It maintains overwhelming. I put a copy in the \core\browser\defaults\profile installation location {source}, the installation copies to the new user profile, but when FF opens, it crushes him. I can copy in the mod file and use it then, but don't want to do this installation script, as happens in a finished format Thinapp.
    Everyone manages to force into a saved copy of localstore.rdf in a recent copy of FF

  • I want to replace my Mozilla bookmarks with my current favorites from Internet Explorer. How can I do this?

    I could not import my favorites IE current to Mozilla favorite. Instead, I find myself with my IE favorites as they were earlier this year.

    If there are problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

    If you don't have the menu bar in Internet Explorer, and then right-click on the toolbar above to activate the menu bar.

    • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML:
      File > import and export
    • Import HTML file in Firefox:
      Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import bookmarks HTML

  • How to create the new library of Photos to iCloud without it merging with the former?

    I started my iCPL in January 2015. It is now 104 Gb/8000 photos. In a year I need to upgrade my plan of storage iCloud.

    So I think I would make the existing one a regular photo library, and start a new photo library iCloud.

    If I start a new library now and make the iCPL, merge it with the existing iCPL. I want to replace the existing in iCloud.

    I could do (I think): -.

    1. make the existing a non-iCPL and rename it.

    2. create a new lib Photos and make the library system iCloud.

    3. the new library (empty) will download and merge with the former in iCloud, so it contains now 8000 photos of the original lib.

    4. delete all the 8000 photos in the new.

    5. start put new photos in the photo library now empty iCloud.

    Is there a better way? I do it too difficult?

    I can see what I've described above taking a long time to settle on all devices, even if I can avoid 30 day waiting by removing the deleted record recently.

    Thank you

    You use "Optimize Mac Storage" on your Mac? Then, you will need to make sure that all the photos to download to your Mac before you copy your current library corresponding to your backup disk and start deleting iCloud.  Is there enough free storage on your Mac to do this?

    I would also like to than my thin iCloud library. My iCloud library has only my favorite photos of many years, I want on all my devices as well as the most recent photos that I'm still trying. Because the iCloud library must be the library system, only in iCloud library photos are available in the media for other applications browser, so I keep all the photos here that I can use in other applications.

    What I do to save bandwidth and download time is to have two libraries:

    1. A large library where I keep all the photos I want to keep - it's my photo archives. This library is on an external drive that is supported by Time Machine and is currently still an Aperture library.
    2. A smaller library iCloud in my pictures folder.

    I import new photos first to the iCloud library, remove all the bad moves that do not need archiving, then I export the originals at the library of the archives.

    And then I start editing the photos in the library to iCloud and learn by removing and keeping only the best photos.

  • iCal on my mac, then merge with iCloud

    I would like to use iCal to automate a task every night, I tried to do it via iCal. I want iCl to open a specific program to save my catalog of photography at a specific time (while I'm asleep), then close in the morbibg until I wake up. I used the custom alert to do, who works for a day or two, then iCloud removes the custom alert and all I'm left with is a reminder without action.

    Ideally, I would like to create a reminder that "on my mac" as I don't want this reminder popping up on my other Apple devices, because it is no longer relevant to my 27 iMac (my work computer).

    I tried to create a calendar that is only "on my mac" that I did it by disabling the iCloud, make a schedule, creating personalized with custom alarm, reminder and then turning power on. The only problem is iCloud absorbs only nine "on my mac" calendar and eventually turns off the custom alert, so I'm no further forward in doing so.

    Please can anyone help because it's so boring. Why did you take this Apple? Not everyone wants everything in the iCloud all the time!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello daxdavies,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know have a problem with the calendar on your Mac app, it's not what you expect. As I understand it, you can't make and keep a schedule "on my Mac", as when you activate the iCloud "on my Mac" gets merged with iCloud calendar and gets synchronized on your other devices. Personally, I've tested this and couldn't replicate, so here is what I suggest to identify and solve your problem:

    1. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory. Test this problem by disabling your iCloud calendar and create the event and a timetable "on my Mac" then restart your Mac and reactivating the iCloud calendar.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    2. If you are still experiencing a problem, you can know if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to another user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

    See you soon!

  • I am deploying Firefox ESR and need to know if plugins read the registry can be activated by the force on all computers.

    I'm deploying Firefox ESR 31.X to all the computers in my company. We have plugins for security that I need to have forcibly running on each computer so that users cannot turn it off. The main example is McAfee SiteAdvisor. Firefox detects the plugin based on the HKLM\Software\MozillaPlugins registry key. The plugin provides a path to the location of the DLL in the McAfee program folder. Is it possible that I can put this plugin to always be activated?

    You can 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
    

    See:

    You must set the pref (s) of plugin.state related to 2 always activate a plugin.

    • lockPref ("plugin.state.npmcffplg", 2);
    • plugin. State (0: never activate; 1: ask to activate; 2: always activate)

    They are not search engines. They are called browsers, and Yes you can use Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer on the same computer at the same time. You can also add Google Chrome and a few others without causing problems for your computer.

    Most people are after the use of these alternative browsers, that they no longer wish to continue using Internet Explorer.

  • Got a recurring pop-up with the firefox logo, pop ups disabled window. some kind of malicious program

    Recently a kind of male-ware jumped to the top of windows when I do a secondary tab or click on a piece of information or something like. Also get a video ad in the lower right.

To appear a lot tho and really become a problem.
    Help, please.
    Thank you

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of. I realized that malwarebytes is on the list, but try others. If push comes to shove, you may be forced to be:
    At littera Do this first) UNINSTALL FIREFOX WARNING: THIS WILL REMOVE ALL OF YOUR FIREFOX INFORMATION! IT CAN BE HIDDEN IN YOUR FIREFOX DATA TROJAN HORSE AS SOME VIRUSES TARGET SPECIFIC BROWSERS!

    (B) remove your computer to a specialist. They will know what to do, because this seems to be a malware problem, not a problem of Firefox.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

A is how it should look like and B what happens once I have, I opened several tabs. I can get it back to normal if I click VIEW, click Customize. When the window customize appears that Firefox returns to its normal state. I have to click on the done button and go back to what I did. I tried to reset FireFox back to the default settings, but that has not fixed the problem.

  • How to get the module complementary Personas Rotator to work with new Firefox themes?

    Before Firefox password personas to themes, add-on Personas Rotator automatically switch personas at a defined interval (ie. every 1 minute). I currently 12.0 Firefox installed as well as the latest versions of Personas Plus and Personas Rotator, but the CAP does not work.

    Before you had to sign in my favorites for the add-on to run my favorite characters, but now when I connect, it has no rotation. Single character/theme active stays on the screen. There is no automatic rotation.

    Private browsing mode is not selected. How can I get Personas Rotator to work? Thank you.

    Good news! The Personas Rotator is now working again and activation of personas automatically at 1 minute intervals.

    It started working again after I went to the 'Appearance' under 'Modules' tab and deleted all the personas listed there (ones I 'added to Firefox"Favorites list which is accessible after registration at the gallery).

    But now I see that the personas that are currently in rotation are appearing in the 'Appearance' tab as well. I wonder if it will be necessary to 'remove' all these more later to get them running again. Will post an update later for anyone having this same problem.

  • Is the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7' a safe and secure to use with Mozilla Firefox V21.0 app?

    I'm worried I can compromise the security of my existing of passwords saved in Firefox by installing the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7'. Is the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7' a safe and secure to use with Mozilla Firefox V21.0 app?

    You should always be careful when you install extensions, not only for security reasons, but always with respect to the stability of Firefox.

    Extensions, hosted on the site of the Add - ons were examined, unless otherwise stated and are generally safe for installation, but they remain third-party software developed by others (only a few are Mozilla and patches).

  • I had synced all my info (passwords etc.) in my old laptop, but today, when I connected my new laptop with my firefox sync account, I found my saved info.

    Before coming to my new place, I saved all my info like passwords, bookmarks etc in my old laptop and they sync with my Firefox sync account. But after that I came to my new place, I bought a new laptop. But when I signed into my account to synchronize Firefox in my new laptop computer, I have not found all of these bookmarks or saved passwords. What should I do?

    Yes, I would say that your passwords have disappeared. When synchronization key is "updated" as indicated in this part of the synchronization log that I cropped, the server is deleted user data because that data doesn't help. This sync key is the encryption key for the user data when these data are user devices that are connected to Firefox Sync. No one, except the person with the right key of synchronization (the "owner" of this synchronization account) can use this data data are scrambled.

    I'm curious to see the full text of the last two files sync-newspapers, 11KO and 38 k is a lot more data than usual for a synchronization log. On my 3 accounts of separate sync I usually see sync-newspapers of 3 KB to 8 KB when there is an error-. Problem is that this forum software does not downloads of files and do a copy / paste of that data in the response box to retain the formatting of line - makes it very difficult to read and follow the sequence of events.

    Sorry, we did not have an outcome.

    That may be a problem with the DDE.

    Try to undo and redo Firefox as default browser.

    Make a different browser like IE browser by default and then let Firefox do it again.
