You posted this with a Mac.

Is this about deploying Firefox on Mac or on Windows as the path names and screenshots seem to suggest?

Does Firefox fails to start if you temporarily remove the mozilla.cfg file to be sure the file is processed?

You can also check the Browser Console for messages.

For Mac ,see "Changes Over Time" -> "Mac Directory Change"

The local-settings.js file needs to be in /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/defaults/pref The mozilla.cfg file needs to be in /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources
