That is my understanding with much of the Firefox settings. I learned that as we decided what was going to be our two supported browsers. We went with Chrome and IE.
Firefox just doesn't scale. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Phil Brutsche [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2014 6:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Pushing proxy for Firefox Very simply, no. It's not in the standard install. There is a GPO add-in for Firefox but it is not kept up-to-date with the latest versions, and it is trivially bypassed (ie the user can disable the addin). I do know there are ways to configure Firefox to use the system proxy settings, but none of the Mozilla-supported procedures follow platform standards… on any of the platforms Firefox runs on. -- Phil Brutsche [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2014 10:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Pushing proxy for Firefox Can't you do it via Registry in Group Policy Preferences?

Trouble is, we allow multiple browsers (IE, Chrome and Firefox). Chrome is easy since it uses the settings from IE, and IE has GPO settings I can use. But Firefox doesn’t. I’ve found a couple of tools on the internet, but was wondering if anyone here had hands-on experience doing this already, and had a preferred method they’d like to share.
