I don't believe it to be a syntax issue, but here's the file before
running the byteshift on it.

That should work, we have root:root 644 and that works. Have you
tried commenting out all the javascript in
/usr/lib/firefox-7.0.1/firefox.cfg just to ensure it isn't a syntax
error in the file itself causing it to complain?

Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I have user and group setup with
nobody:nogroup and 755 permissions. Is this wrong? How do you have
your permissions setup? Currently we don't have it setup as a
local app. Thanks for your help!
Jeff

I've been trying for a few days now to get Firefox to cache
pages to /tmp locally for all users. I updated to Firefox 7,
then edited the firefox.js in /etc/firefox/pref to include
these lines -
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); (supposed to tell
FF not to worry about byteshift)
pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
I then took a customized firefox.cfg file and placed it in
/usr/lib/firefox-7.0.1.
This is what we do (to lock down network settings and the like)
and it works. The only problems I can think of are permissions
issues on /usr/lib/firefox-7.0.1/firefox.cfg (can the user read
it?) and whether you have an error in the JavaScript in the .cfg
file? Then again this is all run on the server for us (no local
apps), are you running Firefox as a local app?
For what it's worth, we found that many apps and even the Gnome
desktop itself didn't work that well with nfs mounted home
folders for the students. We've since moved to having real local
folder on each of the LTSP server (we have multiple load
balanced) and we use csync (http://www.csync.org/)
to synchronize those with the central file server on login/logout
and every 10 minutes they're logged in. Performance went up
dramatically and the load on the file server is almost nothing.
