Per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1516390 , the /etc/xul-
ext/ubufox.js file acts as the default settings file for 10.04 and newer
users. I've confirmed this on Xubuntu 10.04.2.

turncoat, wow - so does this mean the Ubufox plugin overrides the FF
default in firefox.js?

E-mail me at jerickson_-at-_logicalnetworking_-dot-_net (or msg Lns on
freenode) and we'll arrange the pizza customization and commit. :)

Sorry Philippe, your updated workaround posted on2008-12-23 doesn't work
at all. I tried both with new and existing profiles, and even altering
pref to lockPref in both mozilla.txt (before converting to .cfg) and
/etc/xulrunner-1.9/system-greprefs.js ...

Malte, your suggested workaround on 2009-01-05 doesn't work either
(s/iceweasel/firefox/ in your suggestion).

/me hits head against wall

I will seriously have a pizza delivered to whoever can get the actual
bug fixed (no workarounds). Seriously. I will.

To be precise, adding

pref(browser.startup.homepage,
resource:/defaults/syspref/homepage.properties);

to /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js and creating
/etc/iceweasel/pref/homepage.properties containing

browser.startup.homepage=http://blog.cornils.net/

makes things work.

Re: [Bug 19033] Re: systemwide default startup homepage ignored

2008-12-23 Thread Philippe Seewer
Hello Jordan!

Well, first of all the Workaround is meant for you to put to the default 
startup homepage into the mozilla.cfg not firefox.js. I still haven't 
been able to figure out how to fix that (Although I have to admit I 
wasn't able to spend much time debugging).

But second, you're correct. On a fully updated ubuntu the workaround 
doesn't work anymore. The file 'system-grepref.js' got renamed to 
'system-greprefs.js'. Here's an updated Workaround description:

1. create file mozilla.txt with the following contents
//
pref(browser.startup.homepage, http://www.launchpad.net;);
(Replace www.launchpad.net with your desired startup page)

2. Convert mozilla.txt to mozilla.cfg by using 
http://www.alain.knaff.lu/~aknaff/howto/MozillaCustomization/cgi/byteshf.cgi

3. Close all firefox instances

4. Edit/Create /etc/xulrunner-1.9/system-greprefs.js and add
pref(general.config.filename, mozilla.cfg);

5. Copy the file mozilla.cfg to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4 (Please don't 
forget to move this file to the new firefox directory if firefox is updated)

6. Start firefox, the default homepage should now be what you set in 
mozilla.cfg

I've attached a mozilla.cfg configured for 'http://www.google.com'.

Regards, and merry Christmas!
Philippe

[Bug 19033] Re: systemwide default startup homepage ignored

2008-12-22 Thread Jordan Erickson
Philippe, I have also tried your method from comment on 2008-10-01, both
with generating my own mozilla.cfg and using your supplied config. I
verified and reverified all settings in your workaround with no avail.
/etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js *still* isn't honoring the homepage
setting, either. This is a fully updated 8.04.1 and FF 3.0.5.

I've got an elementary school district with 7 schools that need to have
a lockedPref to set homepage to google.com. It makes it difficult for
the teachers to use their (very short amount of) computer lab time
effectively when they need to direct students to a website that they
want to have come up automatically in the first place. They look to me
to set this stuff up, and I'm hoping to get this bug resolved ASAP.

Yes.

It's possible I suppose in my attempts to get it to work I have other

with your entry.  I don't know quite where to start

 just a workaround until we have a solution which will probably be around 
 2011 or so.

 Seriously, I've tried hunting down that bug a few times over the last

Yes, the current firefox directory layout is a bit cluttered up.

Anyway, step by step instructions for fully updated 8.04.1  as of this
date:

1. create file mozilla.txt with the following contents
//

2. Convert mozilla.txt to mozilla.cfg by using
http://www.alain.knaff.lu/~aknaff/howto/MozillaCustomization/cgi/byteshf.cgi

It is my stance that most of this should be covered in the 
/etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js file (if using FF3.x), as this is the 
pref file that all other global options are set (and seem to work fine 
besides this one pref).

[Bug 19033] Re: systemwide default startup homepage ignored

2008-08-20 Thread Jordan Erickson
I just tried setting a default already present in the
/etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js file from 'false' to 'true' - and it has no
effect on the configuration when restarting FF3 and peeking at the value
in about:config.

It looks to me like the /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js is completely
disregarded by Ubuntu (I'm using 8.04.1).

Don't know if that helps anyone but I found a workaround for that.
Posted it under:

feel free to correct it I'm not a native english speaker so there may be
inappropriate wordings in there.

I have tested in Feisty and Gusty, and it's the same.
