Hi Dan, Rather than just the bookmarks, we set-up the user's whole Firefox profile on a network drive (in their personal "drive", a space with access restricted to just them) so it's backed up in exactly the way you describe.
I didn't set it up, so some of the details may be a bit vague. We use a batch file during windows log on to set it up. Everybody's personal drive is mapped to "U:", so it works the same for everybody. 1) mkdir U:\Firefox The great thing about this command is (if it doesn't exist) it creates the folder in the U drive. If it does exist, it effectively does nothing. 2) Check to see if ""%userprofile%\Application Data\mozilla\firefox\profiles.ini" exists. If it doesn't, create the directory "%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox" and copy the file Profile.ini into it (from a shared network location). This is the important part. Profile.ini contains the following: "[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=Default IsRelative=0 Path=U:\Firefox Default=1" 3) the last part of the batch file checks for "pref.js" and if it's not there (i.e. the folder's just been created) copies over (from a shared network location) one with our defaults in. It also does some stuff I don't think is relevant - though I could be wrong. If you start having problems during testing, let me know and I'll try and figure out if it's something I've skipped. The code for this is: " rem Firefox defaults mkdir u:\Firefox if exist "%userprofile%\Application Data\mozilla\firefox\profiles.ini" goto endff mkdir "%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox" copy /y [network location]\profiles.ini "%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\" :endff rem copy Mozilla profile if exist u:\firefox\prefs.js goto endpref copy /y [network location]\prefs.js u:\firefox :endpref " Regards Will Will Spratt IT Science Support Specialist Tel: 01904 46 2631 -----Original Message----- From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Frey Sent: 24 January 2017 20:20 To: [email protected] Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] Change default location of bookmarks? Is it possible to change the default save location of the bookmarks? I would like to redirect them to the user's folder on the server so that they can be included in daily backups. Has anyone else done this?
