Jennifer - all,
I sent something like this out last week but it bears repeating. Setting or
locking prefs can be configured using a global cfg file (AKA autoconfig) and we
have used this for a long time...
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 - there are MANY
other prefs):
pref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "example.com");
pref("network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris", " example.com");
pref("network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris", " example.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
");
HIGHLY recommended reading about autoconfig:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Deployment:Deploying_Firefox
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Mozilla/Automatic_Mozilla_Configurator/Locked_config_settings
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/MCD,_Mission_Control_Desktop_AKA_AutoConfig
https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/
I also cannot recommend Mike Kaply's CCK2 highly enough to help with this task
instead - you can do a ton of things easily with it (a great alternative to the
above example):

Firefox is cross-platform and is therefore mainly file-based as far as
configurations go (txt, js and sqlite files)... GPO is tough. At tool called
PolicyPak is something else you should look into (an even BETTER GPO managed
alternative)...

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Mozilla Enterprise] Configuration File for ESR?
Hi,
I would like to add an updated prefs.js or user.js file for the latest ESR
release.
We are using LANDesk Provisioning with Ninite to install ESR after Windows 7 is
already on the Client but I am having difficultly figuring where to copy the
.js to. We are using a batch file to copy it.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you,
Jennifer.
