I am looking to modify the Firefox 4.01 install to remove the end user prompts.

I don't want the end user to see: -Import Wizard (set to - don't import anything) -Default browser check (No, do not make default-don't perform this check again) -Know your rights -Welcome page -Start Page

I would also like to set the home page to a page of my choosing

Are there switches, or modifications to the MSI that will make this happen? Can you guys provide me with documentation on how to do this?

Thank you,

Dan IT Technician

See comments 38 and 39:

  • Bug 286557 – Need an easy way to skip/disable/turn off the Import Wizard (profile migration) on first startup (when no profile exists)

Is this for new users or are you updating users that already have a Firefox profile folder?

You can lock prefs or set a new default value for prefs via a mozilla.cfg file.
See:

You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg : 

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

Thank you cor-el!

I am new to packaging Do I need to extract the MSI and add an INI file to it and edit tables then build the MSI to make that work?
