Firefox v40.0.3 does not launch
I am attempting to create a customized installation package for Mozilla Firefox v40.0.3.
>> OS : Windows 7 SP1 x64 <<----
I have performed a Custom installation of the browser (unchecked 'Install Maintenance Service' check-box).
After successful installation, copied the following files to the respective directories:
1. Copied 'local-settings.js' to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref'
Contents of this file-----------
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
2. Copied 'mozilla.cfg' to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox'
Contents of this file-----------
// pref("browser.startup.homepage", http://intranet/); pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false); pref("app.update.auto", false); pref("app.update.enabled", false); pref("app.update.service.enabled", false); pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.use_old_max", false); pref("browser.search.update", false); pref("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false); pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
After performing these steps, when I attempt to launch firefox, it fails to launch at all. No errors are displayed. In Task manager, I noticed firefox.exe getting invoked but it exits within seconds.
What is the cause? Please help.

There are no quotes around the browser.startup.homepage value.
//
pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://intranet/");
pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
pref("app.update.auto", false);
pref("app.update.enabled", false);
pref("app.update.service.enabled", false);
pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.use_old_max", false);
pref("browser.search.update", false);
pref("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false);
pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);

First, remove everything you did to see if Firefox will work properly. You may want to just remove the current Firefox folders and re-install.
If it works, make one change, Then test FF.
Yes. Firefox functions as expected when I remove the 'local-settings.js' and 'mozilla.cfg' files from there respective locations. I dont know what is wrong with the content of these files. I created these referring to instructions provided at [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_pre.../Locking_preferences] .
Please help. I am at my wits end with this.
What ou want to do is above my knowledge. I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
