Hi All,

I'm using Firefox on 24 PC's in a primary school computer Lab, I have had reports of students installing extensions and plugins that i wish to stop, also i've had issues with students not signing out of their email and other students gaining access.

Im looking for solutions for the following and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction -

1. Disabling the installations of extensions and plugins. 2. Clearing browsing history/logging out of any accounts. 3. Locking settings so students can't change settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Adam

I'm a newbie using Debian and Deb 12 ships with Firefox ESR and I've decided to stick with it instead of the regular release, 'cause it breaks some extensions I have. However, I want to upgrade to the latest ESR version, how do I do it? I tried going to (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr), but the file for linux 64 bit is a .tar.bz2 file, which I have no idea how to compile.

We use ESR due to its stability and long term security updates, and we use Duo as our SSO/IDP.

We have Duo set to deny login when the browser is more than 6 mo out of date, but due to the way FF reports only the main version number via the user agent Duo is unable to determine that FF ESR is actually up to date and thinks that it's too old and my users are being denied login or getting an erroneous message about needing to update their browser.

Is there a way to set FF to report it's whole version to Duo? We would prefer not to have to "outlaw" FF in our prod environment if at all possible.

My company has been using the same customized autoconfig.js without issue since last year's FF 115 esr release on our Ubuntu servers.

cat /opt/firefox-115.13.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

Now we are testing the 128 esr next releases with the same config and getting the failed to read the configuration file. please contact your system administrator error

cat /opt/firefox-128.1.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

If remove pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); or set it to 1, the error goes away, but our actual firefox.cfg does not get read and are configs are not present at all.

Hi supporting teams / volunteers,

A Microsoft Purview extension was added via GPO previously, and we would like to enable the two settings (indicated with red box), may I know if anyone might have clues on that please? Also, would like to also check if we could remove the extension from users' end, since it said "can't be removed". Many thanks.

Best regards, Vincent
