I use the following package to install system-wide preferences. <package id="FirefoxDefaultsExtension" name="Mozilla Firefox Extension JH Defaults" revision="2010.06.02" reboot="false" priority="10"> <depends package-id="Firefox" /> <check type="logical" condition="or"> <check type="file" condition="sizeequals" path="%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\all-haidlmair.js" value="717" /> <check type="file" condition="sizeequals" path="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\all-haidlmair.js" value="717" /> </check> <install cmd='%ComSpec% /c if exist "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" copy /v /Y "%SOFTWARE%\Firefox\all-haidlmair.js" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref"' /> <install cmd='%ComSpec% /c if exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" copy /v /Y "%SOFTWARE%\Firefox\all-haidlmair.js" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref"' /> <upgrade cmd='%ComSpec% /c if exist "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" copy /v /Y "%SOFTWARE%\Firefox\all-haidlmair.js" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref"' /> <upgrade cmd='%ComSpec% /c if exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" copy /v /Y "%SOFTWARE%\Firefox\all-haidlmair.js" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref"' /> <remove cmd='%ComSpec% /c if exist "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\all-haidlmair.js" del /f /q "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\all-haidlmair.js"' /> <remove cmd='%ComSpec% /c if exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\all-haidlmair.js" del /f /q "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\all-haidlmair.js"' /> </package> The "all-haidlmair.js" file looks as follows: pref("browser.download.useDownloadDir", false); pref("browser.search.openintab", true); pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://jh_net/"); pref("network.proxy.ftp", "mail00"); pref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 8080); pref("network.proxy.gopher", "mail00"); pref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 8080); pref("network.proxy.http", "mail00"); pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080); pref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1, .nussbach.haidlmair.at, 129.0."); pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true); pref("network.proxy.socks", "mail00"); pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 8080); pref("network.proxy.ssl", "mail00"); pref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 8080); pref("network.proxy.type", 1); I do not remember, where I found this information, but it is very easy to implement, since all you need is to check "about:config" for the setting names and values. --- Stefan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
