Hi there everyone,
We just copy a couple of files when we install the CM12 package/application
(Windows 7 x64 example):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\local-settings.js
Contents:
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "example.cfg");
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\example.cfg
Contents (I think these will help you for home page and SSO):
pref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "example.com");
pref("network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris", "lmco.com");
pref("network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris", "lmco.com");
defaultPref("browser.startup.homepage",
"data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=https://somehomepage.example.com";);
defaultPref("browser.startup.homepage_reset",
"data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage_reset=https://somehomepage.example.com
");
I cannot recommend Mike Kaply’s CCK2 highly enough - you can do a ton of things
easily with it (a great alternative to the above example):

Firefox is cross-platform as is therefore mainly file-based as far as
configurations go… GPO is tough. At tool called PolicyPak is something else you
could look into…

Enterprise: Custom Settings
Hello Community,
For sure what is requested by Ratcliff I have also tried using SCCM that is to
deploy a single version throughout the enterprise. However, the default home
page, SSO, etc. Had been quite challenging coz such as restricting sites that
shouldn't access aren't so easy to do as in a gpo. Therefore, I would like to
know a good resource to implement those needs in the most suitable method and
to manage single setting in the enterprise.
Thank you.

Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] Managing Firefox within an Enterprise: Custom
Settings
Hello Community!
I wanted to first say that I’m new to the Enterprise side of Firefox, so if
there’re links to some necessary readings that will help me get started please
feel free to link me!
My question is around supporting Firefox with custom settings, within an
Enterprise. When we first looked into this (years ago) Firefox didn’t support
GPO natively, so we decided to package Firefox (SCCM) with are configuration
settings built in. One issue we are seeing is our Desktop Support guys/girls
are seeing Firefox as ‘Available’ within our deployment software (Software
Center) and installing it, even though the user doesn’t use it. This has led to
a lot of outdated versions within our environment. One thing I’m looking into
is using a SCCM Compliance Item (CI) to monitor machines with Firefox
installed, then run are configuration on those machines. Hoping to do some
testing of this soon.
If anyone would like to share their experience, or enterprise setup with me
that would be great. At this time I’m just trying to get a good starting point
to try an overhaul are current implementation.
Items we configure:
1: Default homepage
2: Configure Single Sign-On (SSO)
Thanks for your time!
-Erick
