Hi ndeleon, In order to silently configure a proxy on a network for Firefox you may need these resources to lock proxy preferences across profiles. Keep in mind however I do not know how to do this without overwriting the whole profile if one already exists for each user, you might want to advice them: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles
Force proxy config Step:1) Created a file name like "local-settings.js" in -- /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref --- Pasted this line -- pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); --- in "local-settings.js" Step :2) Created a file name like "mozilla.cfg" in -- /usr/lib/firefox --- And copy and paste the below line in this "mozilla.cfg" file.
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);
lockPref("network.proxy.http", "X.X.X.X");
lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
lockPref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "127.0.0.1,localhost,X.X.X.X")
Troubleshooting steps: The steps look fine to me (byte shifting is no longer required).
- Do any of the prefs have a locked setting in you click the Status header on the about:config page?
- Do you see the general.config.filename pref with value mozilla.cfg on the about:config page?
- Are you sure that you are starting this version of Firefox?
- Do you get an error message when the mozilla.cfg file is absent?
- You will first have to check for errors with the local-setting.js file
Resources:
Note that the mozilla.cfg file needs to start with a comment line (//) because this first line is skipped (ignored).
The mozilla.cfg file needs to be in the main Firefox program folder and the local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located.
