The relevant parts of our CCK2 autoconfig looks like this: Preferences > Data Choices > all disabled Preferences > Update > disabled Miscellaneous > all disabled
And then in Preferences we also have: browser.disableResetPrompt true browser.newtabpage.enhanced false browser.newtabpage.introShown true browser.reader.detectedFirstArticle true browser.safebrowsing.enabled false browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled false browser.safebrowsing.phishing.enabled false browser.urlbar.userMadeSearchSuggestionsChoice true extensions.blocklist.enabled false media.eme.enabled false ------------------------------------------ Jason Jackson Computer Systems Technician North Vancouver School District From: Copus, Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: May 16, 2017 9:51 AM To: Jason Jackson <[email protected]>; '[email protected]' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Mozilla Enterprise] Minimizing first-launch background data download consumption Thanks Jason. Curious what all your preferences items you're pushing? Do they include browser.safebrowsing.*.enabled=false? Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to disable the background downloading of the safe browsing databases but still leave intact the ability to check sites/URLs on the fly? Or does anybody host an internal safe browsing caching server? -- Scott Copus, Lab Systems Engineer Academic Technology | Western Kentucky University http://www.wku.edu/it/labs From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Jackson Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2017 9:54 AM To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Minimizing first-launch background data download consumption Yes, we turn off Widevine, all the blocklist stuff (safe browsing), the telemetry, the extension updates, and the search engine updates. Our Endpoint Protection software handles browsing security. The extensions and search engines are updated when we deploy Firefox updates. When you have hundreds of computers behind a 30 mbps pipe, these little things add up. :) ------------------------------------------ Jason Jackson Computer Systems Technician North Vancouver School District From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Copus, Scott Sent: May 16, 2017 6:38 AM To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] Minimizing first-launch background data download consumption Hi all, I'm curious as to how much data Firefox pulls down behind-the-scenes for new browser profiles during the first hour or so of browsing... with such things as safe browsing data, extensions it wants to install on first use (Widevine, OpenH264, etc)? Is it worth trying to minimize this for thousands of lab/classrooms browser configurations on a college campus... especially for sites with small internet pipes? In our school labs and classrooms students/faculty/staff have a fresh new browser profile upon every login. So that got me thinking about the background download of safe browsing data. I'm curious if it's a good idea in this particular environment (if possible) to turn off the background download of safe browsing data but still leave it enabled to allow it to query URLs site-by-site as browsing is happening over their average 45 minute temporary logon sessions? Does anyone run their own internal safe browsing/phishing proxy/caching server? Wondering if anybody does this rather than allowing all their clients to download safe browsing databases all the time? I came across https://github.com/google/safebrowsing. Not sure if this is really a caching server, but wondered if Mozilla has their own proxy/caching server? thanks for your input. -- Scott Copus, Lab Systems Engineer Academic Technology | Western Kentucky University http://www.wku.edu/it/labs
