Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] [From: EXTERNAL] Remove old Firefox and Install new version 58.0

[Delise, John]

Loghaman,

Using SCCM my package removes firefox with this command-line

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" /S

The S does not have to be capitalized.

I have used this for  versions back to for many versions. I would test it from 
an elevated command prompt on each version you have.

It has been our best practice to always remove the previous version before 
installing a new one, but as always test, test, test.

It does NOT remove the users profile. Reverting to earlier versions using an 
uninstall\install method may fail because of differences introduced to the user 
profile by each new version.

“Always forward, never backwards…”

Thank you,

new version 58.0

Hello,

I hope you are doing well. I am planning to push the latest Firefox (58.0) to 
our users via sccm 2012. The package has been created and tested successfully 
for new installation. But our users have different versions of Firefox such as 
39, 43, 47 and etc. Do you have any guideline to remove all previous versions 
and install new version by SCCM?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Loghman Adak

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Date of purge of XUL extensions at Addons site?

[Jorge Villalobos]

Agree that addons-dev is the better place for this discussion. I'll just
add that you can find the AMO source code in these repos:

https://github.com/mozilla/addons-server
https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend

You can manage with just the first one to stand up a site that looks and
works like it did before the launch of Firefox 57.

You don't say what config changes you've made - but I think you can 
achieve this by adding the following to your autoconfig cfg file:

  lockPref("places.history.enabled", true);
  lockPref("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", false);

This appears to prevent users selecting 'Never remember history', but 
does allow 'Use custom settings for history' - with 'Remember my 
browsing and download history' locked to 'on'

I guess you will also want to disable Private Browsing ? - if so, then 
this can be done via CCK2 - which also removes the 'Never remember 
history' menu item

[Mozilla Enterprise] " Remember History" should be enabled always

[Kumar Kondru]

Hi All,

I want to keep " Remember History" in privacy tab as users are changing the 
settings in production. And, we should not allow user to change it from " 
Remember History" to others (Never remember history, use custom settings for 
history)

I tried hard to make changes via config file but it didn't help. So, Kindly 
help me to keep " Remember History" always via config file

Thanks and Regards,
Ajay Kumar
