i want to make portable browser with setting i already did in it and send it to many users all setting must be private so i want the users to only can open the portable browser and use it as it is so i search add ones for security so i install these add-ones --- Public fox ( so i protect the menu from opening only with password ) Menu Editor ver 1 ( so i hide the right click ) addblock plus + addblock plus element hide ( so i hide some buttons in the page i dont want users to open or click like logout button and change password ) App Button Remove ( to remove the firefox orange top left button ) --- i have some setting in that browser for a specific site i want to share it with my own credential ( usr & pw ) and use it so i bookmark the site and set it already as home page and fill in my own proxy in the network tab so when all users are using it the website dos not complain about multi-login users -- i though all this was good and secure i pack (zip) the FF portable and send it to all users but suddenly they complain about they are logged out !!! then a user came to me and told me what he did "he go in the profile folder and delete all extensions and start ff portable again and he can access every thing the loggout button ( int he site ) and remove the proxy from the menu"
so i need help to protect the profile folder from changer after i send it to the users or at least i want to protect the extensions files from deleting ?????

I still do not understand what did you actually do to make your proposed setup Secure !!!
If you explain that it may well help I have difficulty understanding what you could do to prevent knowledgeable user on their own computer using it in any way they wished or just by passing it.
I am not qualified to offer legal opinion or speak on behalf of Mozilla. Rachel (rmcguigan) on the other hand is is paid staff and will speak with authority.
I am just making observations and posting what could be relevant background information. I do not know if the information I link to is actually up to date.
FirefoxPortable I guess this is the basis of what you are trying to somehow modify or customise & distribute.

Legal One of the legal pages. http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/FAQ.html
An old project modifying Firefox
I note that mentions
There are a some downsides to our method – primarily that we are Windows only and that we can’t sign our installers with the Mozilla certificate. But it’s the only way we can create a distribution that includes our own add-ons.
Although whether the above comment is still relevant at all, or has any bearing on what you intend I would not know. More recently from the same developer,one of many blogs
- http://mike.kaply.com/2013/11/25/early-cck2-is-here/
- Mike Kaply develops CCK
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
The CCK Wizard can be used to create an extension that customizes Firefox. To access it, after installation, select Tools->CCK Wizard... - also see (scroll the article) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences#Caveats
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/CCK I note this article mentions the following:

- Mike Kaply develops CCK
NOTE: If you add certificates to Firefox, you CANNOT ship a browser outside of your company or institution and call it Firefox. This feature is intended primarily for corporate and institutional users that will be deploying Firefox.
Although again that is an old article
