Found pleny of guidance online, it just doesn't seem to work for me. Local-settings.js located D:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref

Pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
Pref("general.config.filename", "Mozilla.cfg");

Mozilla.cfg Located D:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

//
lockPref("security.enable_ssl3", true);
lockPref("security.default_personal_cert", "Ask Every Time");
lockPref("network.protocol-handler.external.shell", false);
lockPref("plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types", "application/PDF,application/FDF,application/XFDF,application/LSL,application/LSO,application/LSS,application/IQY,application/RQY,application/XLK,application/XLS,application/XLT,application/POT,application/PPS,application/PPT,application/DOS,application/DOT,application/WKS,application/BAT,application/PS,application/EPS,application/WCH,application/WCM,application/WB1,application/WB3,application/RTF,application/DOC,application/MDB,application/MDE,application/WBK,application/WB1,application/WCH,application/WCM,application/AD,application/ADP");
lockPref("browser.formfill.enable", false);
lockPref("signon.prefillForms", false);
lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);
lockPref("privacy.sanitize.promptO   nSanitize", false);
lockPref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.status", true);
lockPref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", true);
lockPref("security.enable_ssl2", false);
lockPref("security.enable_tls", true);
lockPref("dom.disable_window_flip", true);
lockPref("dom.event.contextmenu.enabled", false);
lockPref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);
lockPref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.status", true);
lockPref("security.warn_leaving_secure", true);
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:blank");
lockPref("app.update.enable", false);
lockPref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
lockPref("browser.search.update", false);

I know at this point some of the setting may be incorrect in my Mozilla.cfg file. However my problem starts before that. It is as if Firefox is not seeing or referencing my local-settings.js file at all.

You did change the content (pref and mozilla) to lowercase in the local-setting.js file?

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

Also make sure that the local-settings.js is a plain text file and you may need Unix style line endings (i.e. a linefeed instead of a CR/LF).

Also make sure to name the mozilla.cfg file with lowercase 'm'.

See also:

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes

hello, the local-settings.js file may be case sensitive:

pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); 
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

Note that the SSL prefs have been changed and prefs like these are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

lockPref("security.enable_ssl2", false); // SSL2 not supported since Firefox 8
lockPref("security.enable_ssl3", true);
lockPref("security.enable_tls", true);

Thanks for that note. Like i said I'm not even getting that far for that to be an issue yet.

Did you verify in the Properties that the local-settings.js file is a JScript file as Windows would call it and not a text file with a hidden .txt file extension (local-settings.js.txt)?

Yep. It is showing as a js file file correctly.

Capitalization was my fault. It works. Thank you for your help!!!!
