Look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Automatic_Mozilla_Configurator/Locked_config_settings Roughly speaking, do this: 1). Create a mozilla.txt file containing your settings. Mine is: // lockPref("app.update.enabled", false); lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://localhost";); lockPref("browser.safebrowsing.enabled", false); lockPref("browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled", false); lockPref("browser.urlbar.maxRichResults", 0); lockPref("browser.cache.offline.enable", false); lockPref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false); 2). Create a rot13 encoded version of this file, named mozilla.cfg. 3). Drop mozilla.cfg into firefox's root folder. On Ubuntu this is: /usr/lib/firefox-3.x.xx where 3.x.xx is the current version.
