Firefox for Enterprise Community Forum

Hi all,

For quite a while I'm working together with others on a voluntary base (nobody gets money) as members of a computer-club, a charitable NGO and NPO (in German: gemeinnütziger Verein) for seniors in order to bring them closer to the use of digital devices and media. It's not only teaching, but administrating the hard- and software as well.

I can remember that it was possible in former versions of Firefox to include at least a script into "defaults->prefs". I think it was user.js (not sure) in the installation folder to define common preferences to be fixed, like proxi settings. It always worked well, preventing non-privileged users from making any unwanted changes. As a I found out there must have been a very similar way to include add-ons (like uBlock Origin).

Unfortunately all content I found was older than about 10 years. When trying setting up Firefox as it is now, my test system didn't care about anything I've tried.

I'm talking about > 50 Windows-PC having in average 3 user profiles each (for teaching more than 400 members). We are amateurs regarding PC administration, except some network ex-professionals. "Baking" installation media including our needs, as I already found on Mozilla's pages, seems to be beyond our abilities as well as distributing a fitting profile (we don't have a MS-server), not speaking about Group Policies.

Is there any usable guideline for people like us? Today, each FF-installation looks different and I would like to unify this as easy as possible.

Greetings!

I am using the firefox enterprise version and I have noticed an issue that the browser does not capture mouse events when the pointer is at rightmost edge of the firefox window. For example, on this website near the edge the pointer would initially focus on the scroll bar and then lose focus at the edge (see attached images).

This issue does not persist on x11, and only seems to exist on wayland. It also exists on other flavours of firefox on wayland.

If more information is required, feel free to send me a ping.

Hi,

I am having the issues on more than 1 pc that after updating the firefox esr 128 version to 140 esr version, the firefox does not work properly, specially with xWiki. when i click on xwiki (on-premis server), i can read the contents and all. but when i click edit then it shows the blank page. this is very odd as it happens after updating to 140 version. picture is attached.

Thanks Sheras

How do I lock the Microsoft Purview settings in the attached image using intune, so users cannot change them.

I have been able to make it that they cant disable or remove the extension but cannot figure out how to make it that they cant change the settings. I did try making a json file but it does not seem like Firefox uses it.
