I'm trying to deploy Firefox 25 to about 400 users via Win2008r2 terminal services in and AD environment. I want popup blocker to be enabled but I need a way to auto-populate a list of exceptions for these users automatically when they first logon. Without the ability to 'push' exceptions into configurations, the popup blocker will generate too many support calls for Firefox to be viable.

The preferred option would be GPO (I've tried all the firefoxadm type options but they are all outdated for FF25 and 64bit) but pushing files around with scripts at login would do. I've tried making changes to the popup exclusion list and then checking for changing config files but can't see anything obvious for the stored locations.

The popup whitelist sites seemed to be stored in permissions.sqlite file, which is a SQL Lite DB, that is part of the profile that is created for the user. I am checking to see if there is an easier way for editing this file or a script hat can insert the required settings for the popup blocker in the DB - that way you can execute the script.

To check the key and value, I guess you can copy the permissions.sqlite DB from the profile and view it in a SQLite browser - and after that I would think it will be a SQL insert command into the DB.

I will post whatever I can find to make this easier for you. Request you to kindly provide the solution if you were able to get this working.

Thank you

See:

You can place files to initialize a new profile in the browser\defaults\profile folder
