I need a sanity check. I'm trying to lock down Firefox in Windows and Linux. I'm following the instructions to create local-settings.js and mozilla.cfg files. Right now, I'm working on just changing the default webpage. I'll screw things up later once I get past this hurdle. I'm currently working on a 2012 Server but I'm pretty sure I can replicate the issue on my RH 6 box. The issue is when I create these 2 files and put them in the defaults/pref directory (which is what is referenced in my security paper and research on the intarwebs) it doesn't work. But if I copy the files to the install directory for Firefox, they do. Normally, this would be fine but this deviates from the security paper I have to follow to check the contents of the file and I don't want to have to explain the issue or get dinged. Are the locations correct or do I need to keep them in the defaults/pref and if I do, why do the same files error in one directory but not in another? Thank you for your assistance.
