I run in a locked down environment, and I would like to know if there is a way to have a central mozilla.cfg file stored on a network location. This is for ease of management. I know you can obviously push out a mozilla.cfg to the normal location via log in script but I have a need to have the file redirected to a network location. TIA.

hello, according to some internet entries you can load a configuration file on a server through this line in the mozilla.cfg set up in the program folder:

lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url", "http://example.com/mozilla.cfg");

It would need to point to a static drive letter. Can I use something like lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url", "file://F:/firefox/mozilla.cfg"); ?

just tested it & this works for me - but only when i kept the first line in the.cfg file empty (edit: referring to the mozilla.cfg, that is situated in the program folder):

lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url", "file:///F:/firefox/mozilla.cfg");
