Hi all, I thought I'd resurect this old thread and ask is the current (as of May 2012) way to force global firefox preferences to create two files, one /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js and one in the /usr/lib/firefox-version/firefox.cfg ? That seems like a huge step backward from the days when you could control behave from a single firefox.js file located in /etc/firefox/prefs/.
I assume for fat clients/local apps it would be /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/firefox/prefs/firefox.js and /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/firefox-version/firefox.cfg ? Thanks for any light you can shed. John Am I misunderstanding how this is currently done. And does anybody understand why this keeps changing?
