Subject: Firefox 10 system wide preferences
I've never attempted to set system wide/global preferences for
Firefox,
but am now looking into how to do it. Google has not been
very kind in
shedding light on the subject as all of the solutions site different
file locations and names.
I'm just looking to set the default homepage for now. Is anyone
successfully doing this? Has it changed from Firefox 3.0,
3.6, and the
current packaged 10?
A working example and file path would be much appreciated.
Hi Mark:
I believe you should be able to update the global prefs.js in something like
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/defaults/profile/prefs.js
Eg something like
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://google.com";)
Anything in firefox "about:config" should be able to be set like that globally.
I'm actually trying on FF 10 on a 32bit install.
I've been trying various filenames with those contents (also pref(),
lock_pref() and lockPref()) in:
/usr/lib/firefox/
/usr/lib/firefox/defaults/
/usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/ (this is where channel-prefs.js
exists)
I even created /etc/firefox (and a few subdirectories based on a google
search.
I'm stuck with the "file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html", even after
clearing out ~/.mozilla.
I'm not looking for theoretical replies, but rather someone who is
_actually_ doing it and has it working. There must be someone out there
who's got this worked out on SL/CentOS/TUV.
Cheers,
Mark

AHA! I'd looked at that page previously, but not close enough.
For anyone else interested, the above link contains the file contents.
For FF 10 packaged by SL, the following is true:
The files need to start with // on the first line, contents of this line
are ignored. All real content should start on line 2.
Contents of /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/local-settings.js:
//
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0");
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
Contents of /usr/lib/firefox/mozilla.cfg:
//
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://url/";);
This is a rather strange way of Mozilla to go about it, but it does work.
Thanks to everyone who replied.

I haven't got it working yet but I'm also looking for the answer.
It definitely has changed in Firefox 10 though - I did have it
working in 3.6.
I've tried creating prefs.js in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences
with the contents:
pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.co.uk/";);
If I then try to start up firefox I get a blank page so it has
made some difference; about:config also shows the change has been
made so I'm not sure why I get that blank page. The filename does
not even have to be prefs.js - any file gets read I think.
Have you searched for the current
"file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html"? The only places that this
is referenced are in all the various langpack files
in /usr/lib/firefox/langpacks but these are all zipped directories.
I can't believe that it's necessary to change these - there must
be a different way.

We do. with Firefox 10/Thunderbird 10 is is enough to drop files in preferences directories (without altering original ones): these are processed in sort order on startup. /usr/lib64/firefox/defaults/preferences/somefile.js (/usr/lib64/thunderbird/defaults/pref/somefile.js) (of course change lib64 to lib on 32bit platform) Now, unfortunately it does not work for browser startup page, apparently because of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461880 (yes I know it is an old bug for FF 3.0 , but looking at spec file for FF 10 a workaround for this bug is still applied , which may not be necessary anymore) The workaround used prevents browser home page customization from js preferences: to get rid of it you would need to rebuild firefox disabling/changing it in spec file or repack all/some /usr/lib64/firefox/langpacks/langpack-*.xpi files changing content of chrome/*/locale/branding/browserconfig.properties Cheers Jarek __ --- _ Jaroslaw_Polok __ CERN - IT/OIS/ODS _ _ http://home.cern.ch/~jpolok ___ tel_+41_22_767_1834 _ _ +41_76_487_9487 _

roller ball weirdness
Hi All, I am using Scientific Linux 6.2 x64 and Xfce 4.8. Since upgrading to 6.2, I have noticed if I scroll too fast on my mouse wheel, that I change windows. I wind up in a different program and have to click back to get back to my original program. Is this on purpose? And, is there a way to defeat the behavior? Many thanks, -T

If the mouse is over the Workplace switcher.. the workplace switcher will take the mouse scroll as changing screens.
