I'm a newbie using Debian and Deb 12 ships with Firefox ESR and I've decided to stick with it instead of the regular release, 'cause it breaks some extensions I have. However, I want to upgrade to the latest ESR version, how do I do it? I tried going to (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr), but the file for linux 64 bit is a .tar.bz2 file, which I have no idea how to compile.

Firefox 128 ESR-next Releases not reading firefox.cfg

My company has been using the same customized autoconfig.js without issue since last year's FF 115 esr release on our Ubuntu servers.

cat /opt/firefox-115.13.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

Now we are testing the 128 esr next releases with the same config and getting the failed to read the configuration file. please contact your system administrator error

cat /opt/firefox-128.1.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

If remove pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); or set it to 1, the error goes away, but our actual firefox.cfg does not get read and are configs are not present at all.

Switching to Firefox ESR with Microsoft Intune - Need Help with Password and Bookmark Sync Without Mozilla Accounts

Hello Mozilla Community,

I am an administrator in a company where we currently use Microsoft Intune for software distribution. We are currently deploying Firefox 76.0, which automatically updates itself and is no longer at version 76.0. However, we are planning to switch to the Firefox ESR version.

In our organization, we are not allowed to use Mozilla accounts for syncing passwords and bookmarks due to internal policies. Our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible for our users, with as much automation as possible, while still ensuring that they can sync their passwords and bookmarks effectively without relying on Mozilla accounts.

Is there a way to achieve this, perhaps through a third-party tool or another method that integrates well with Intune and respects our privacy requirements?

Any guidance or suggestions to make this process smooth and user-friendly would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm having trouble find clear directions online on how to import Firefox Developer Edition into my Intune App Catalog to deploy it to users. I was able to convert the .exe installer into a .intunewin file but Intune won't import it for some reason. All the other directions i keep finding just direct me to creating a custom configuration policy around FireFox but it looks like it is just the basic Firefox for Enterprise.

I'm hoping to either get directed to actual directions for this or even a .msi installer for the developer edition. Does that exist?

Issue getting Firefox to launch for the first time, directly to a clicked link, without start page/default browser prompt

We are deploying Firefox installed via the v122 binary on Ubuntu 22.04.4 Server w/ubuntu-desktop-minimal --no-install-recommends (we need to have no-user-interaction install). We are using an Ansible playbook to copy over and unarchive the tarball, then create a firefox/distribution folder in the install directory and copying a profiles.json file to said folder, links the install directory to the /usr/bin/local directory, and setting firefox.desktop as the system default browser.

Using the instructions from: https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/

What we are hoping to accomplish is the user who has never launched Firefox will click on a link in an application, which will launch Firefox and go directly to the requested page. As it stands right now, the first time a user clicks the link, it launches firefox and shows a start page. The user must then close this window, and click the link again. This brings up a "Use Firefox as the default browser" prompt, which the user must accept, but then does not display the link. The third time the user clicks the link, the requested page pops up, and works from this time out.

We would like to have this be a one-click experience for the user. Looking at the options in about:config after getting firefox to launch, it appears firefox is not getting the options from the profiles.json file. Are we missing something about placement of this file? Missing some lines? Should we be using AutoConfig instead? Thank you for any assistance!

Hello Guys,

in our network we have several Fritzbox Routers which we remote administrate. If we connect to the routers with Firefox V115.2.0 we get a warning message - because it´s a Fritzbox self-signed certificate and cannot be validated. No Problem - everything okay with the message. But in Firefox 115.2.0 there is no advanced button that lets you go futher to connect to the website. With Version 102.14.0 ESR the advanced button is there. The webinterface works fine with Edge and Chrome (with warning but with advanced button to continue)

Is this a bug?

We use Firefox ESR for along time in our organisation but with the last update, a specific page wont redirect to the ADFS page. In the latest normal version of Firefox it works and also other browser but not in ESR.

The webpage is https://rx-base.nl/ and https://preprod.rx-base.nl/

We are using the latest version of ESR. It gives a blank page with in the console a error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Fout bij het oplossen van modulespecificatie ‘@rxbase/root’. Relatieve modulespecificaties moeten beginnen met ‘./’, ‘../’ of ‘/’.

Please advise on what to do.

I've successfully added all the admx profile settings we want for our deployment except I can't seem to get right syntax for adding multiple sites to the exception list. We've successfully blocked all urls in the block oma-uri but for the exception it only shows a single example not multiple. (https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates#websitefilter site) OMA-URI:

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox/B_WebsiteFilter_Exceptions

Value (string):

<enabled/> <data id="WebsiteFilter" value="1*://*companyurl.com/*"/>

this works.. all internal sites are accessable. what i want to do is as well make these sites avail as well *://company.sharepoint.com/* accessable and

I've looked at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns but i can't seem to find proper format for multiple that doesn't cause line to either be ignored or errored out

any assistance would be appreciated
