Thank you beforehand for your help(assistant) Cordially We use Firefox 45.0.1 Under Windows 7 X64

Hi mpedreira, I guess English is not your first language. We only use English here so thank you for asking your question in English.

If you let me know the language you prefer I will see if there is any forum using that language.

As you may use Firefox ESR you may be able to find answers on the mailing list. (That is also English )

• ESR https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/
  • https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise

I would also point out that if you are actually using Firefox 38.0.1 that is outdated. You should instead be using the special ESR Fx 38.7.1 or the new ESR Fx45.0.1esr

If you are deploying and configuring & customise Firefox in a corporate environment you my find the free addon software CCK useful

I would want to deactivate the "firefox sync" since the "about config", it will be easier for us to deploy it after.

it's possible to make it?

We have already tried it but it didn't work.

Ty for you reply

// Désactiver le service Sync

lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", false); lockPref("services.sync.engine.addons", false); lockPref("services.sync.engine.bookmarks", false); lockPref("services.sync.engine.history", false); lockPref("services.sync.engine.passwords", false); lockPref("services.sync.engine.prefs", false); lockPref("services.sync.engine.tabs", ""); lockPref("services.sync.registerEngines", ""); lockPref("services.sync.jpake.serverURL", ""); lockPref("lockPref("services.sync.serverURL", ""); lockPref("services.sync.serverURL", ""); lockPref("services.sync.tokenServerURI", ""); lockPref("services.sync.nextSync", 0);

Note that this line isn't correct and would probably throw an error:

lockPref("lockPref("services.sync.serverURL", ""); 

Do the prefs show as locked when you check them on the about:config page?

Click the Status column header to sort by this column.

Sorry is not the good file.

the line in the about config is :

lockPref("services.sync.serverURL", "");

And not

lockPref("lockPref("services.sync.serverURL", "");

But isn't working :(

Can you confirm that the mozilla.cfg file is processed and that all prefs set via the file are locked?

This will only prevent connecting to the Sync server.

Note that there are currently problems reported with the Firefox account service used to sign in to Sync.

See Mozilla — Cloud Services Status:

• https://status.services.mozilla.com/

Firefox Accounts:
We are currently experiencing problems with FxA logins.
Engineers are looking into the problem.

Yes it is
