When we add an SSL certificate from our SonicWALL it only works for the user that added it. When another user logs onto the same computer the new user has to add the certificate again. Is there a way to add the certificate so that each user does not have to do this? We are running Windows 10 on the client machines.

hi, please see https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:AddRootToFirefox for a couple of ideas.

thanks... just a little above my head. Where do you go to set the preference "security.enterprise_roots.enabled"

your browser information said that you are on firefox 47 - this particular method will only work in newer versions of firefox though.

in order to set the preference for all users of a computer see the Configuration section in the article at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment (otherwise those settings can be tweaked when you enter about:config into the firefox address bar - this only affects the current user/profile though)

I set up an autoconfig in defaults/perf

// Just a comment perf("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); perf("general.config.obscure_value", 0)

then edited mozilla.cfg and added my change // try lockPref("app.update.enabled", false); pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled", true); lockPref("app.update.autoUpdateEnabled", false); lockPref("extensions.update.enabled", false); lockPref("extensions.update.autoUpdateEnabled", false); catch(e) { displayError("mozilla.cfg", e); no workie do I have the syntex right? its dose not seem to be doing any of the line items

Note that you made a typos in the local-settings.js file (perf instead of pref): 

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

OK I fixed the typo Thanks. still no joy. So I removed everything from the default file except what i want to happen

// Just a comment pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0)


// try pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled", true);

also tried it with and without a  ; after the last line.
