Howto enable Adobe pdf-plugin and add langugate packs for all users
I have firefox installations on many terminalservers and my users are bugged every day with a prompt to enable Adobe PDF plug-in to view PDF-files within the browser.
We are using a group policy object to override diffrent settings on default homepage and disabled the built-in PDF reader.
How do I activate plug-ins for all users? How do i install langugate packs and dictionary for all users for norwegian?

Unfortunately you can no longer install extensions including language pack via the distribution/bundles folder in the Firefox program folder.
- Bug 1144127 - Remove support for distribution/bundles (39+)
For the language packs, see:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/Installing_extensions
- https://developer.mozilla.org/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry
A mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder can be used to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
A local-settings.js file needs to be placed in the "defaults/pref" folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
See Configuration:

You can try this in the mozilla.cfg file:
//
pref("plugin.state.nppdf", 2);
