Activate plugins for all users on a web-site

Hello,

Is there a way to activate or whitelist plugins for a specific web-site, for all users on a Windows computer? Each time a user logs in and visits the site, they have to click three prompts to enable content. Aside from being annoying, most folks aren't that tech-savvy to understand what is going on and that they need to do it. All they want is for their content to run in the browser.

Thanks

Are these plugins disabled because they are out of date? If so, just update them

I keep the machines pretty up to date. This is a plugin for a web-based conferencing system called "BLueJeans." I install the plugin beforehand, but the users are still prompted to activate when visiting the site.

There are plugin.state prefs for each plugin.

  • plugin.state (0:Never Activate; 1:Ask to Activate; 2:Always Activate)

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.

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.

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

Thanks! I'll give this a try and see how it works.
