Hello,

I'm trying to lock down the preferences in the firefox that comes installed with Solaris 10 08/07

In the past firefox wasn't preinstalled and you either download a version the Sun Beijing team release on the Mozilla site or you used the Blastwave version. I've always prefered the one from the Sun Beijing team. They're usually only a day or two behind getting a file up after a new version of firefox is released.

Anyways in the past I've taken a text file called mozilla.txt that includes the following lines:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Mozilla User Preferences

/* Do not edit this file.
*
* If you make changes to this file while the browser is running,
* the changes will be overwritten when the browser exits.
*
* To make a manual change to preferences, you can visit the URL about:config * For more information, see http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs
*/

lockPref("config.use_system_prefs", false);
lockPref("network.proxy.http", "192.168.1.2");
lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1");
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And then taken that file and run it through the script on:
http://alain.knaff.lu/howto/MozillaCustomization/cgi/byteshf.cgi

That creates a file called mozilla.cfg

Then I would place the file in /opt/sfw/lib/firefox and add:

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

to the end of /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/firefox.js


That would lock down the proxy settings in firefox.


I've tried putting the mozilla.cfg file in /usr/lib/firefox and adding the line to the end of /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/firefox.js but it doesn't lock down the settings on this preinstalled version of firefox.

Anyone know how to lock down the preinstalled firefox. I think I read that this version of firefox can be used with apoc, but I that's overkill as far as I'm concerned and would like to lock this version of firefox down the same way I always have.

Thanks,

Aaron
