Customized mozilla.cfg file no longer working after upgrade to v38.01

I created a custom mozilla.cfg file which has three main sections. Section one locks several preferences. Section two modifies the chrome - hides the Orange button and adds the menu bar. Section three adds a bookmark folder with links specific to our organization.

I have also modified the local-settings.js file so that it points to my cfg file: pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift

After upgrading to v38.01, Firefox no longer opens. It appears briefly in Task Manager and goes away. I started some testing and found that if I comment out the line "pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);" in the local-settings.js file, FF opens but none of the settings I have specified are being applied. I'm stuck since I have no idea what the problem could be. Has the allowed syntax changed? Has the file structure changed? I can post the cfg file if needed.

Thanks.

Yes. That function is gone.

Yes. Please post the content of the mozilla.cfg file as it is likely that there is a problem with the file.

You can try to comment out lines with a leading // to check for issues with pref lines.

Hello cor-el, Here is the file I have. I have changed the bookmarks

Not sure about this pref as I'm not see it on about:config :

  • lockPref("browser.rights.override", true);

EDIT: It does come up with a search in the source code:

So it seems to be about showing a snippet on the about:home page.

Testing all JavaScript is a bit beyond my capabilities.

Did you test what section is causing the problem by commenting out or removing parts?

Note that in current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button (#PanelUI-menu-button) at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.

I have done some commenting out, but I'll have to start that process over with a clean machine since I've been playing around so much. I will let you know in the next couple of days...

I added small sections of the script at a time and determined that the offending line is:

navBook.setFolderReadonly(FolderId, true);

This line prevents the end user from modifying the custom Bookmark folder that I'm creating. See - setFolderReadonly()

I moved this section of code to the end of the .cfg file thinking that 'How can I add bookmarks when the folder is read-only' and got the same results. Commenting that one line allows FF to open, and all my bookmarks are added.

I can't find any reference indicating that this method is no longer valid. Can someone shed light on this situation?

Yes. That function is gone.

Thanks. Easy enough to correct - I'll just comment out the line.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Note that you can use try and catch blocks if you need to support older Firefox versions or test is this function exists (mozila.cfg is run as a JavaScript file).
