Android actually does handle the UI as far as I know (it places a little lock icon) - and you can create additional chrome stylesheets to hide the items as well.
I am actually on that mentioned bug (440908) - and that would also be a solution…it’s actually the solution that I am currently using. I’m just wondering if it might make more sense to handle when loading the mobile distribution itself, since that would allow you to use the artifact builds for the backend stuff (since there isn’t much interest in adding easy locking to the core gecko code base). Since distributions can be packaged up within an APK itself, it’s a bit harder to bypass a distribution…which is why I thought it might make sense to put the settings locks in there instead. -Nathan > On Jan 28, 2016, at 4:52 PM, Ben Bucksch <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey Nathan, > > Mike Kaply points to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440908 > > Please note that Locked Prefs need support from the UI side to disable or > hide the preference fields.
