[Bug 139543] Re: firefox .deb overwrites firefox.cfg which stores systemwide settings such as startpage, proxy
This bug was fixed in the package xulrunner-1.9 - 1.9~b5+nobinonly- 0ubuntu1 --- xulrunner-1.9 (1.9~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low [ Fabien Tassin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] * Drop patch applied upstream - drop debian/patches/bz08_att_make_clean_cleaner.patch - update debian/patches/series * Set LDFLAGS so dpkg-buildpackage doesn't use -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions - update debian/rules * Add support for a defaults/syspref directory containing system wide preferences that will not be silently overwritten at each upgrade (LP: #207281, #203538). It works for both libxul apps such as firefox 3 and xulrunner applications such as prism - add debian/patches/add_syspref_dir.patch - update debian/patches/series * Fix broken RSS subscription - add debian/patches/bz423060_att312807_fix_rss_subscription.patch - update debian/patches/series * Bump depends to libnspr4-dev >= 4.7.1~beta2 and libnss3-dev >= 3.12.0~beta3 - update update debian/control * Hook up mozilla-devscript's compare module to binary-post-install - update debian/rules [ Alexander Sack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] * switch to in-source jpeg to fix rendering issues at zoom levels (LP: #182038); this measure should give us some performance improvements. - update debian/rules * make pref extensions read defaults/autoconfig from NS_GRE_DIR instead of NS_APP_DEFAULTS_50_DIR. If it turns out to be a bad decision, we should reconsider this patch. - add debian/patches/bzXXX_autoconfig_in_gre.patch - update debian/patches/series * install system-greprefs in /etc/xulrunner-1.9/ and create the proper link in $pkglibdir/greprefs to it (LP: #139543) - add debian/system-greprefs.js - update debian/rules * ship versioned link libsqlite3.so.0 => libsqlite3.so in $pkglibdir to allow liferea workaround for LP: #203413 - "Liferea creates many corrupt copies of places.sqlite in" by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly - update debian/rules * ship .autoreg file in pkglibdir to allow autoreg touches by plugins/extensions et al. - update debian/rules * touch .autoreg in xulrunner-1.9.postinst and xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support.postinst - update debian/xulrunner-1.9.postinst - add debian/xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support.postinst * hook in lp-export-xpi.mk from mozilla-devscript to export en-US translation templates to debian/lp-export-xpis/; in turn, make mozilla-devscripts a hard build-depends - update debian/rules - update debian/control * consider NS_GRE_DIR/.autoreg to trigger component registry upgrades. - add debian/patches/bzXXX_gre_autoreg.patch - update debian/control/series * Fix "Dom Inspector not compatible" by bumping maxVersion field in extension install.rdf - add debian/patches/inspector_maxversion_bump.patch - update debian/patches/series * Fix xulrunner side for bug "firefox needs restart after plugin install to detect and activate them"; we scan for new plugins in GRE at startup runtime - update debian/patches/bzXXX_gre_extension_plugin_support.patch -- Fabien Tassin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 23:11:10 +0200 ** Changed in: xulrunner-1.9 (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- firefox .deb overwrites firefox.cfg which stores systemwide settings such as startpage, proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139543 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

this is not fix committed - yet. We will now ship a /etc/xulrunner-1.9/ubuntu-greprefs.js file where administrators can add their general.config.filename gre setting. You can the use either an absolute path that will apply for _all_ xulrunner applications or a relative path, which will be relative to the application install directory. For instance it should be possible to set sysprefs/my-firefox.cfg, which then could be configured by the administrator in /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/ ** Changed in: xulrunner-1.9 (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Triaged -- firefox .deb overwrites firefox.cfg which stores systemwide settings such as startpage, proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139543 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please correct this it is a showstopper for me to use ubuntu+firefox in our company _on all clients_.

Is there no possibility to put global, system-wide settings into /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js ? I tried so but had no success. If this worked we would not need to edit firefox.cfg at all. -- firefox .deb overwrites firefox.cfg which stores systemwide settings such as startpage, proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139543 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 139543] Re: firefox .deb overwrites firefox.cfg which stores systemwide settings such as startpage, proxy
I have an app that adds some proxy settings to the firefox.cfg file. But with
the latest version of Firefox this file seems crypted, and when I use my app to
add settings (eg: lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);) then Firefox
displays an error when it is launched (error reading config file)
What are the crypted settings? Could I remove them?
Or is it possible to switch to an unencrypted version or to crypt my proxy
settings?
Thanks

I can confirm that we currently do this and I see the point. However I have currently no fix for it, but we should definitly do something about this in firefox 3.0 / hardy.
