Hi,

I have a few questions and requests that I would love to see in later FF ESR Releases. Maybe I haven't found the correct term to google, but this is what I would like to be implemented. If it already has been done, please let me know. I'm currently deploying Firefox via SCCM + mozilla.cfg & distribution.ini

Issue: Global and user preferences What I want are preferences that a user can't change. E.g. pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8");

We needed this setting for an intranet site which has now been shutdown. We changed the mozilla.cfg on the SCCM share, updated Firefox to the latest version and deployed the installation for all users. If they install the latest version this setting will stay the same in the user profile and everybody has to change it manually which is quite annoying. If preferences are set to be applied to users or globally, only the user settings are taken from the mozilla.cfg and are written to the profile.

A cfg file may look like

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https:///www.google.de/") - Users will get a default homepage, but will be able to change it global_pref("extensions.pocket.enabled", false") - User can't enable pocket as long as there is no new mozilla.cfg provided by an admin.

In this case, only the user_pref will be added to the profile. The global_pref will be taken from the mozilla.cfg at each FF startup instead. if a user_pref is changed to a global_pref it will be automatically overwritten in the user's profile.

This would allow admins to take control of all settings! GPOs aren't that flexible. Do you think this is possible?

Another idea that has been shared already are the newtagpage settings. Currently I'm only able to add pages to the newtabpage, but I can't control the default settings. I just don't want YouTube or Facebook to be there!!

E.g browser.newtab.activity-stream.default.sites - You can modify this to whatever you want without any impact. Enabling & disabling this setting is not enough. Please give us full control about it to apply CI settings.

Is there a way to add Add Boormarks Menu to Toolbar to the cfg file? I found this setting, but I don't know the syntax for the cfg to modify the placments. browser.uicustomization.state

For all others that were struggling to remove the privacy notice on FF's first run as it couldn't be found in the startup setting like in previous versions. There you go:

lockPref("datareporting.policy.firstRunURL", "");

Looking forward to your response :)
