How do I completely disable initial "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" pop-up for all users on a Citrix server where the FireFox was upgraded to 29.0.1
I have a set of Citrix servers, we need to upgrade the FireFox on them to 29.0.1 When I have done this, and a user runs FireFox, now the users are being presented with a pop-up "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" which delays the start of FireFox. I need to prevent this so users just see FireFox start up without any delays. I have installed the add-on that re-enables extensions.checkCompatibility and tried various ways of implementing it like pref("extensions.checkCompatibility", false); However we seem to have a situation where the add-on that enables the setting is not loaded yet so the setting is not implemented. How do I solve this for all users?

Hi beartlaoi, Please try stackoverflow.com. There is an old bug that may be outdated, but you can try the feature to be a by version https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521905
There is an add on for this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../checkcompatibility/
You can try to set the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref to ignore on the about:config
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to specify new (default) values and possibly lock prefs.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

I had this problem...again. I've tried all the solutions in this forum with minimal success. But I FOUND A SOLUTION!!
I reinstalled FF, tried fixing about:config, deleted the extensions.* files, turned off auto update on both FF and the add-ons, clicked on change add-ons to manually update, and then even went in and actually did change each one to OFF for updates. Nothing worked.
It was operator error (me). I like to do things quick so I install FF (V 24), then I open tabs for all the add-ons I know I want, then install all of them before I restart.
This time I started with a clean install, opened my add-on tabs, but installed each one, then restarted, before installing the next one.
It worked!!
