Firefox for Enterprise Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I have an issue on a Mac OS Server environment with home folders. The user's login to the MAC which authenticates to the Open Directory MAC server giving home folders to the logged-on users that reside on the server and not the local workstation. Users commonly use different computers to log in. What we're finding is that the users are increasingly getting the error message that a copy of firefox is open and firefox cannot open.

Removing the lock file solves the issue.

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/ cd uniqueid.default rm -rf .parentlock

Is there a way to avoid this? We have the most current version of FF installed.

OMA-URI:

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox/Proxy Value (string):

<enabled/> <data id="ProxyLocked" value="true | false"/> <data id="ConnectionType" value="none | system | manual | autoDetect | autoConfig"/> <data id="HTTPProxy" value="https://httpproxy.example.com"/> <data id="UseHTTPProxyForAllProtocols" value="true | false"/> <data id="SSLProxy" value="https://sslproxy.example.com"/> <data id="FTPProxy" value="https://ftpproxy.example.com"/> <data id="SOCKSProxy" value="https://socksproxy.example.com"/> <data id="SOCKSVersion" value="4 | 5"/> <data id="AutoConfigURL" value="URL_TO_AUTOCONFIG"/> <data id="Passthrough" value="<local>" >="" <data="" <="" p=""></data>

This has mixure of String and Integer , when we configure as string and use one from the above or leaving blank or setting only string , it failed the policy with error - -2016281112

Hi,

I deployed the last Firefox ESR update and I just found about this new feature : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-downloads-preferences-using-downloads-menu

So files are now downloaded and users are no longer prompted for what to do. My question is can we change this to "Ask whether to open or save files" using policies.json?

Kind regards,

Hi,

I've been struggling for a week to try and get our extensions managed in Firefox. Firstly I tried doing it in Intune through the Extension Management setting in the ADMX however that wouldn't work as it couldn't parse the JSON. Then I've tried using the OMA-URI ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox~Extensions/ExtensionSettings

I'm now getting a straight up error in Intune -2016281112 (0x87d1fde8). I've followed the documentation as best as I can but it still doesn't seem to work. In the Intune logs there is no record of the Config profile even being attempted. Any ideas as to what is causing this error? Here is the full code being used for the OMA-URI string:

<enabled/>

We have a requirement to limit Firefox to just one internal website. Other browsers should have unlimited access, so we do not want to block websites on operating system level. I do not find any solutions in ADMX or add-ons. Please advise if anybody has a trick under the sleeves ? Thank you.

We're exploring the possibility of implementing a mass update for Firefox through backend management, leveraging PowerShell scripts or any applicable method that can streamline the update process for our users.

Additionally, we've encountered instances where users have installed Firefox via local profiles, posing challenges for centralized updates. I'd appreciate any insights or guidance on how we can address this issue effectively to ensure these installations align with our centralized management approach.

I am wondering if I can get some help configuring some GPO for Firefox on our new domain we are building. I want to be able to block private browsing as well as I was wondering if there is an option to force firefox to sign in with certain accounts only so we can monitor students as we are a school district

Hi All,

I am trying to block the Last Pass extension in Firefox using Intune, and the ADMX configuration setting is not working on the endpoint. I've used the templates found here

https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases / Target Extension "support@lastpass.com"

And have tried using the imported admx template as well as a single line OMA-URI.

I've worked with Microsoft, and they see the correct settings on the device as pushed out via Intune, so they said it is not on their end. Any ideas why blocking named browser extenstions is not working? I've configured a few other settings with Intune/ADMX templates and they work.

Thanks! -Doug

Hi there,

We would like to disable ECH on our browsers as it is interfering with our Anti-virus Website blocks. I have identified the settings that need to be changed in about:config and was able to configure 2 of them to be controlled via a registry key but was not able to for another 3 as their keys should be placed in a different Key in the registry. I have searched all over but cannot identify the name for this Key.

The settings I need to manage are in the image. I was able to configure the settings beginning with network.dns but I am not sure how to manage the settings beginning with security.tls.ech

Any help would be much appreciated

Does anyone possess expertise in executing a forced update for Firefox within the user's profile directory located at "AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox"? It would be advantageous to employ a PowerShell script for rectifying this issue. It appears that certain users are not frequently opening Firefox, thus impeding the automatic update process.

Hello,

My company recently started using ActivTrak Monitoring software and I need some help configuring the setup for Apple computers. I'm trying to create a custom .mobileconfig to automatically turn on the browser extension and then stop the end users from turning the add-on off. I can successfully install and lock the extension on once installed but need to manually activate the add-on first. What do I need to add to the plist to enable the extension automatically?

Thank you!
