Hi,

We've problems with some PDFs and the Firefox pdfjs implementation and we 
need to disable it. If we set the policy 'DisableBuiltinPDFViewer' to true the PDF 
handler disappears inside Options > General > Applications, so we can't use the 
Adobe connector to visualize it and the user is forced to download or open the PDF.


What is the Adobe connector? If the PDF isn't viewed within Firefox using 
our viewer, open or download would be the only other choices. There's no way to 
route it to Firefox (because there is no Acrobat/PDF plugin)

You're right, the Adobe connector doesn't work with Firefox 64bits. But is 
it normal that the PDF handler disappears and user can't opt to ask or open 
forever, or use the external reader (Adobe Reader) for default?


What are you getting when you open a PDF? You should still get the helper 
dialog and the user can make a choice what to do with that PDF. If you disabled 
pdfjs, Firefox at that point doesn't know what to do with PDFs.
There are cases when PDFs are sent with the wrong mime type and we can't handle 
them properly.

Understood. I will investigate more, I was just surprised by not finding PDF in 
the application list.



By the way, a noob question: is it possible to reset or change a user 
preference with policies with Firefox 68 ESR? I've seen the new Preferences 
policy in 78.3, it's very interesting but we can't use it yet. But anyway it 
don't support pdfjs.* preferences? :-(


Are there some specific preferences you want? I can just add pdfjs to the list.

Yes please! In this case we will use autoconfig but in a near future we'd like 
to get rid of it.



For some reason we changed DisableBuiltinPDFViewer to false but many users 
still have pdfjs.disabled to true. The only way to change it is using the 
autoconfig pref()?


You can definitely clear the pref using autoconfig - *clearPref(prefName)*

Perfect, thx



PD. One of the problems with the Firefox pdfjs is that it don't show the 
digital signatures. Do you know if it will be solved soon?


I don't have an answer to that one. It hasn't come up before. I'll mention it 
to the PDF folks. FYI, the issue is:

https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/1076 


Nice! I hope it can be fixed soon, at time for future 78 ESR... or at least 88 
ESR.

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] local domains seen as search engine words?

2020-10-22 Thread Mike Kaply 
Are you setting any Preferences via the old policy?

What do you see when you look at:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox

In regedit?

I'm seeing weirdness where sometimes policies don't take in GPEDIT and I
have to edit other policies to make them take.

Hello Mike,

I'm testing the preference.
First, the locked value should be quoted, right? As the below:

{
"browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words": {
"Value": true,
"Status": "locked"
}
}

I have done this:
1) entered in the "preferences"  window in the Group Policy editor;
2) clicked on "Enabled" check
3) pasted the above text

Unfortunately, neither in the Computer or User configuration, this
preference is applied to my Firefox 78.4.0 ESR.

Sorry for my misunderstanding, I don't use policies.json.
Where can I write these preferences in Group Policy editor on my Domain
Controller?
