I'm not sure exactly when it started, or with which updated version of the Firefox
Quantum ESR, because I have not had the time to sit down and troubleshoot the problem
until now, but sometime in the last month or 2 we get the "Failed to read the
configuration file" when launching Firefox. You click ok and Firefox launches and
works fine. Our current version of ESR is 68.3.0, and I know we did not have this when
deploying 60.7.1, so somewhere in between it broke.
I have traced the problem to my custom configuration file where we try to set
google as the default search by doing the following:
// Set Google as default search
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
var searchService = Services.search;
var engine = searchService.getEngineByName("Google");
searchService.currentEngine = engine;
If I comment out the last 2 lines then the error does not occur. I have not
been able to search any new method or syntax of doing this for the current ESR
version, and have not seen any other mentions of this from anyone else
reporting this problem in my searching. I suppose it's not the end of the world
if we don't set Google as the default search when deploying systems, but it was
sure nice having it that way.
Any advise from anyone on where to look for a new way of configuring this?
Can't you do this via Policies ?
