Trying to lock down the proxy settings so users can't disable the proxy. Did this in 5 by editing the firefox.js file in omni.jar then creating a mozzila.cfg file, but same technique doesn't appear to work in 6.

Any ideas what's different?

There is no need to edit omni.jar
You can place a file local-setting.js in the \default\prefs folder to specify using mozilla.cfg.

This does not seem to apply to Firefox 6. I cant locate a place to configure all user settings like there was in the previous versions of Firefox. My Scenario is-

Terminal Server on 2008 R2 and trying to configure all user settings that will apply to all users launching Firefox from the TS.

All documentation and references I have found after an exhaustive search all reference FF 4 and before. Any thoughts?

What did you try?

Which files did you use and in which folders are they located ?

Can you post the content of the not obscured file mozilla.cfg ?

Do you get an error message if you start Firefox to indicate that at least the settings file that specifies using mozila.cfg is found and processed?
