How can I manage my Firefox configurations centrally?
How can I manage centrally my Firefox configuration on clients computers? Can't use GPOs because firefox isn't in the registry... I don't want to copy prefs.js at each login.
All I want to do for now is to force these configurations :
-Homepage URL -Disable the possibility to save passwords -Remove any proxy if there's any set.
Please, I don't want to go back to IE...
Thanks.

You can lock prefs to accomplish that.
You can use a mozilla.cfg file to lock prefs or specify default values. You can place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder to specify using mozilla.cfg.
local-settings.js :
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com/");
lockPref(signon.rememberSignons", false);
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);
lockPref("network.proxy.http", "");
lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", "");

hello, we use a mozilla.cfg unter ff3 without any problems. but the update to ff4 ignore the settings.
i tested it with a byteshift-mozilla.cfg and an personal.js in default\pref. but mozilla firefox don't show the locked settings. about:config shows the mozilla.cfg.
does anybody know any solution? i have to set the proxy-settings for about 100 pc... thanks!
Any errors in the Tools (Firefox > Web Developer) > Error Console ?
What is the content of the file mozilla.txt (mozilla.cfg without byte shift)?
