Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox updates

Sai had a great question. I too always wondered about FF browser updates w.r.t. how Mozilla thinks it "should" be done in an enterprise environment. Is the philosophy that updates should only happen while a user is actively using Firefox and not in the background while not even in use... such

[Mozilla Enterprise] automating first-run tasks (changing application handlers, preinstalled plugins)

Hi, I'm using the CCK2 to automate a bunch of the first-run tasks. Current using latest ESR 52.1.1 x32 on Windows 7x64. I need to be able to set a bunch of options on first-run that get set up before there is any existing Firefox profile. First, I'm trying to automate setting Adobe Acrobat

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Check Installed Firefox Version with CMD or Powershell

Hi Greg, All good ideas. Sometimes I like to go directly to the app’s own installed registry key to determine installation status/version/etc. You should be able to use the appropriate commands in either batch (reg.exe) or PowerShell. 32-bit:

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Setting up Firefox ESR with Group Policies ?

Hi Pascal, We also are currently deploying FF ESR 52.x at our site too. Just recently I started managing our university's lab/classroom Windows FF configs by utilizing Mike Kaply's CCK2. However, I extended it to support Windows GPOs by letting it read keys from

Thanks Marc for the link... and Martin B for writing the Ghacks article. I was looking for exactly something like this, but on the Mozilla site. Does such a comparison/chart/list exist @ Mozilla's web site to compare the next transition of Firefox ESR 52-->60 and regular/rapid vs. ESR of

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] 32-bit to 64-bit Help

FWIW, Chrome x64 also installs itself under Program Files (x86). I'm ok with this logic; it does make things a little simpler for admins if 32->64 or vice versa migrations happen in the enterprise and paths don't change. Scott On Jun 29, 2018, at 8:08 PM, Ryan VanderMeulen

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Profile Update Intervals

I’ll also piggyback onto Jason’s question. We might be in the same boat with the same end goal in mind. I apologize if that’s not the case. What’s the best way to set up Firefox in a user environment where we have thousands of Windows devices with Windows user profiles that are transient in

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] What Missing Policies are preventing you from migrating?

Hi Mike, I use the CCK to configure the following settings below. This is from my old homegrown GPO template. I customized the CCK; it reads the GPO registry keys and applies them during Firefox startup. I haven’t had time to review the latest Firefox GPO template, so I’m sure a lot of

Mike, Valtori, I don’t think I’m aware of any 3rd party GPO admin templates that have settings that can be merged/appended across multiple links like parent/child OUs. It’s possible it may natively exist though, I’m just not aware of something that works that way with admin templates. I

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Install/Uninstall/Update distribution

Rather than allowing users to experience Firefox profile upgrades/migrations upon browser launch following an upgrade, what would be the possibility for the installer itself to perform this profile upgrade work for all local accounts found on the system? I figure this is a bad design idea, but
