entries in mozilla.cfg not populating in firefoix (version 41)
Trying to lock some setting in Firefox 41.0, this needs to be deployed to approx 100 machines I have a Local-settings.js file in Default\Pref folder that has the following: pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
And the corresponding mozilla.cfg file in the Mozilla Firefox folder (with firefox.exe) has the following entries: // lockPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris","http://support.seddons.co.uk"); lockPref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url","http://spsukman01.sedsol.net/seddons.pac");
When I launch Firefox and go to about:config these entries have not been populated. I can manually update the entries in about:config and they do the job, but I need to do this for multiple machines, so if this is not the best method what is as I understand that the GPO route is unreliable. Many thanks BH

Do other entries in the mozilla.cfg file work?
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg. Try this content in the file:
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

This is so strange as I had tried the pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); line both before and after the pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); in the local-settings.js file and it just would not work, added it again at the end of the file as above and the entries are populated and in italics. Thank you I will try this on other machines. Regards BH
