It just needs the below 2 lines, and all that it does is tell Firefox to use a config file (importantly, Firefox will not start if it cannot find that config file). This one is basically the enabler and is really simple. By manipulating those 3 files, you can enforce a huge range of behaviors.įirst, is the C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\ local-settings.js file. There are 3 files that you'll need to create: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\local-settings.js, C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.cfg, and C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\override.ini. Basically, you have full control over how Firefox works and what its settings are. You can disable the default browser check. You can disable the first run "Import Settings" wizard and "welcome to firefox" page. You can set a default home page (and enforce it so that the user can't change it). You can disable automatic updates for Firefox. Through those files, you can make all of the commonly required configurations.
There's an enterprise version of Firefox, but if you're not inclined to go that route, VDI solutions make it very easy to push enterprise configurations to all of the endpoints that are using Firefox.įirefox is great because it uses config files for just about everything.
In a VDI environment, it becomes important to customize Firefox's behavior in order to comply with corporate standards. Quite a few of my customers use Firefox as their web browser.
