Do "ESR Only" settings still work on non-ESR via .cfg file? Does GPO 'win' in this case?

Hello,

We deploy Firefox with updates disabled by mozilla.cfg, but now the app is updating automatically.

  • Mozilla.cfg - settings correct here
  • Prefs.Js - shows update settings are not applied
  • User.js - does not exist

In particular, the settings of auto-update, homepage, and similar ones noted as "ESR Only" have been ignored.

But those settings should be still working via Autoconfig, right?

\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Mozilla.cfg: 

 // Disable application auto-update
 lockPref("app.update.auto", false);
 lockPref("app.update.backgroundErrors", 2);
 lockPref("app.update.disable_button.showUpdateHistory", false);
 lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
 lockPref("app.update.service.enabled", false);
 (..and more)

\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js: 

 pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
 pref("general.config.filename", "Mozilla.cfg");

\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js:

Your issue to figure out a new cfg file, g'luck

Type about:preferences#advanced<enter> in the address bar. Under Advanced, Select Update.

[v56+] Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Select Update.

Select Never Check For Updates.

Also turn off Use a background service to install updates <Windows Only>

Further you can rename Updater.exe to updater-old.exe

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Hi Blake, According to your data, you're using Firefox 59.0. Is your question about a deployment of Firefox ESR, not the version you're using?

The filename is usually mozilla.cfg and not Mozilla.cfg. Also make sure that both files start with a comment line (//) because the first line is ignored for security reasons. You can use the mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to initialize (set/lock) preferences and run privileged JavaScript code. 

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