Deploying 'Deer Park' 1.5.0.1 (.msi) and distributing mozilla.adm via 'Group Policy'. All works fantastically. Now, I've setup a fair few settings within the policy and I'm not sure at this stage if it's down to "Users" at the local box with the following problem. They get asked to import Bookmarks, etc from IE! Now I'll test this theory tomorrow. I did stumble across following thread:
Disable import bookmarks wizard on launch?
http://forums.frontmotion.com/viewtopic ... rks+import
it states...
you can use the mozilla.adm with FrontMotion firefox to set these settings
profile.allow_automigration set to true
profile.confirm_automigration set to false
It should tell Firefox to do an auto import and not ask the user.
Can someone confirm if these settings work?

Sifiting through 'mozilla.adm v 1.2 (Explanation of settings)' and it does contain reference to "bookmarks" and "import" throughout, YET, they don't appear in the mozilla.adm 1.2 template!!! e.g below;
browser. bookmarks. added_static_root: Keeps track of whether a root folder for system (imported) bookmarks has been created in bookmarks.html.
True: The root folder has been created
False (default until import complete): Create the root folder (unless we're using dynamic bookmarks - browser.bookmarks.import_system_favorites), and then set this pref to true.
browser. bookmarks. import_system_favorites: Determine the system bookmark strategy.
True: Enable a "live view" of system bookmarks which is read-only
False (default): Opposite of above.
Note: Setting this to "true" will prevent "Imported IE Favorites" folder from being deleted where applicable (see bug 22642).
Why does it list them in http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries yet, they don't appear in the mozilla.adm 1.2 template?

I can't seem to get this working. I've installed 1.5.0.1 Community Edition, and set the following options with mozilla.adm:
browser.bookmarks.added_static_root = Enabled
browser.bookmarks.import_system_favorites = Enabled
profile.allow_automigration = Enabled
profile.confirm_automigration = Disabled
I've verified with regedit that these settings are being deployed. However, when a new user launches Firefox for the first time, they still get the "Import IE Settings?" prompt. What am I missing?

Annoyingly, Firefox checks on loading to see if there's an existing profile. If not, it launches the "Import Favourites" wizard. There is no way this can be disabled with group policies.
You can fool Firefox by thinking that a profile exists by creating the correct directory structure with a login script and by copying one .ini file.
Here's my extra login script:
The contents of the profiles.ini file are:
You'll have to edit these a little, but with these applied using the "login scripts" section of group policies, the "import wizard" is banished for good.

Not Importing
Hi,
I'm using the latest adm template mozilla.adm 1.5. I have set profile.allow_automigration -Enabled
profile.confirm_automigration- Disabled
I need it to auto import all the settings from IE but not prompt me.
However, I am still getting the Import IE wizard on first launch from Firefox after deploying for each new user. Has this been fixed? Or do I have to create a logon script to fool firefox that there is a profile? Any reply will be appreciated! Thanks!
