Subject: Firefox 10 system wide preferences
I've never attempted to set system wide/global preferences for
Firefox,
but am now looking into how to do it. Google has not been
very kind in
shedding light on the subject as all of the solutions site different
file locations and names.
I'm just looking to set the default homepage for now. Is anyone
successfully doing this? Has it changed from Firefox 3.0,
3.6, and the
current packaged 10?
A working example and file path would be much appreciated.
Hi Mark:
I believe you should be able to update the global prefs.js in something like
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/defaults/profile/prefs.js
Eg something like
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://google.com";)
Anything in firefox "about:config" should be able to be set like that globally.
I'm actually trying on FF 10 on a 32bit install.
I've been trying various filenames with those contents (also pref(),
lock_pref() and lockPref()) in:
/usr/lib/firefox/
/usr/lib/firefox/defaults/
/usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/ (this is where channel-prefs.js
exists)
I even created /etc/firefox (and a few subdirectories based on a google
search.
I'm stuck with the "file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html", even after
clearing out ~/.mozilla.
I'm not looking for theoretical replies, but rather someone who is
_actually_ doing it and has it working. There must be someone out there
who's got this worked out on SL/CentOS/TUV.
Cheers,
Mark
