I work in a University environment and some of the Web based applications that we use have compatibility problems with newer versions of plugins. I am currently using the released versions of Firefox MSI packages.
I have been deploying the packages via SCCM 2007 R2, which works fine. I am trying to figure out the best way to apply a custom setting to the deployment either by transform or by script to apply a custom setting to about:config during deploy.
The setting that needs to be applied to the program during deploy so that users will not get their plugins auto-disabled is:
Code: Select all
extensions.checkCompatibility.11.0<current version>;false
We control the installation of packages out to the systems and disable all auto updates to all computers. The end users also do not have access to install software packages to their workstsions. This gets to be problematic when a new version of java is released and suddently a number of Web applications get disabled with messages that a plugin is out of date.
Thanks in advance for your help
