hey all,

is there a way to block the download/install of add ons in Firefox via a registry change?

our company is looking to deploy Firefox for all users (via Microsoft SCCM), but we need to be able to block users from downloading/installing add ons.

I've looked at GPO options that allow Firefox to be managed from active directory, but they are third party tools that don't work natively in AD and aren't officially supported by Microsoft (as far as I know).

any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks!

Hello,

The following is a quick guide. For details, see the Locking Preferences article.

In <installation folder>\defaults\pref\local-settings.js 

pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

In <installation folder>\mozilla.cfg 

//
lockPref("xpinstall.enabled", false);
