System Wide settings configuration for Ubuntu

I have a closed Ubuntu installation I use to clone and quickly setup a VM. The closed system uses a proxy with restricted access to the internet, as such I would like to give it systemwide settings that will effect new and existing users.

I have attempted to use /etc/firefox/syspref.js, and apturl.js in /etc/firefox/pref/apturl.js. I have setting in EnvVars for HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY pointing at the proxy http://proxy:8080. It seems by default firefox does not look at that.

Secondly I wanted to turn off the site warnings for intranet sites using the following options: pref("security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled,false") pref("security.certerrors.permanentOverride,false") pref("network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist,false") pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled,true")

Seeing as nothing I try seems to be working, and the potentials solutions were for older versions, is there a way I can do this?

Thanks JJ

Another user suggested ‘https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/ is a good start but i am looking for English>Cherokee>English’ for ‘Firefox’, which it does not currently have. The he closed this question as solved. I need this question to remain open until resolved. I was born and raised on the Cherokee Nation near Tahlequah, the capital. I am a native speaker. I would like a means to communicate with my elders who speak English poorly (believe it or not). I want to stop writing letters. Right now, I am using a virtual keyboard but it is cumbersome.

Hello - I love and always recommend firefox, thank you!

One small aspect that I frequently struggle with is the small size of the bookmarks dialog pop-up window. When adding or editing a bookmark, the window only shows a very small view of the folders which makes it hard to navigate to the folder I want to place the bookmark in.

I have search extensively for extensions and settings which could provide a larger visualization, so that more of the folder browser could be seen at once, but not found any options.

Can the mozilla team suggest any work around for this, or submit this as a request to increase the size of the viewable folder tree when adding a bookmark?
