Deploying Firefox 52 ESR on SCCM - problem with config settings
Hello
I'm trying to install firefox for my organisation however I'm having a problem with applying custom settings for a config item in about:config.
I need to set a value for pref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", servername);
When adding it to mozilla.cfg firefox refuses to start indicating a bad config file I'm also using local-settings.js, I tried putting it in there and nothing happened. After installation I can add my server name and everything works as expected (no user login box for intranet) The setting is located in a random roaming profile directory called pref.js.
So my question is, how do I successfully create this entry on installation. I read some articles about placing files in particular directories that are then copied to the user folder on first run, here :- https://mike.kaply.com/2013/05/13/more-major-changes-coming-in-firefox-21/
but some of these folders (such as browser\defaults\preferences) don't exist when I check post installation.
Any advice would be gratefully recieved. Many Thanks.
John

These pref lines need to be in mozilla.cfg. Note that mozilla.cfg needs to start with a comment line (//) since this line will be skipped for security reasons.
mozilla.cfg :
//
pref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "servername");

Did you use quotes around the value of the pref as this is a string pref?
A comma and space delimited list of URLs that are allowed to automatically authenticate via NTLM. (Default: empty string)

Thanks for the response, I did use quotes, following the syntax of the rest of the entries, But I don't recall putting quotes around "servername" specifically, which I'll try - where should I put the setting though? mozilla.cfg ?

Yep - that did it, I had everything except the quote for the string value of server name
I'll mark this as solved, thanks for that incdientally, would adding extra names follow the syntax... pref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "servername", "servername2", "servername3");
Many thanks, banged my head against a wall on that one, missed it was a string value. So thanks again.
That won't work with each server name quoted. There only need to be one quoted string with the server names in that string.
pref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "servername, servername2, servername3");
