how to skip initial setup for every local user?
I am publishing Firefox via Citrix Xenapp 6.5. I was wondering if there was a switch command that I could put on the end of the application path to start firefox without each user not having to go through the prompts such as "make firefox your default browser" and "import settings for ie"?

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Turn off Always Check Firefox Default Browser.
'import settings for ie' should only be asked once.
if i log on to the server as me and do this will it take effect for all user profiles on that server?
Each user has their own separate profile.
You can use the mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to set or lock preferences.
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
The mozilla.cfg file needs to start with a comment line (//).

You can place a file override.ini in the browser folder in the Firefox program folder to disable the profile migrator.
