How do I disable hardware acceleration for all users on a single computer?

We have a computer that many users (25+) use. We need to disable hardware acceleration for all users at once, instead of each user having to disable it.

Is there a way to do this? Registry? Something? Please help.

hello, you can lock/preset certain preferences for all users on a machine with the method described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

in this case you probably want to put this into the mozilla.cfg file (use defaultPref instead when users should still be able to change the setting on their own):

// disables hardware acceleration
lockPref("layers.acceleration.disabled", true);
lockPref("gfx.direct2d.disabled", true);
