1) It seems like various people are hitting this problem with different versions. Does installing an old known working version still work on the affected client?
yes i went back to 2.0.0.5 GB and it obayed the gpo settings.
2) Does mission control on a stock Mozilla firefox work? Test this by uninstalling the MSI and install the non-msi firefox. Then add the following to c:\program files\mozilla firefox\grepref\all.js
Code: Select all
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
and create a new file in c:\program files\mozilla firefox\ called mozilla.cfg with the following
Code: Select all
lockPref ("network.proxy.type", 4);
Run firefox, and go to about:config. Sort by status. Is network.proxy.type listed as locked?
I did all of that, and it listed the value as "userset".
I'm using the British build BTW.

I did a little bit of research and I came across something. I googled mozilla.cfg and found it is supossed to be encoded. see:
http://alain.knaff.linux.lu/howto/Mozil ... ocked.html
I tried this but the results were the same (settings didn't take).
Windows XP SP2
Stock Firefox 2.0.0.6
also tired it with the FM Firefox 2.0.0.6

Got it to work.
added the following to all.js:
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
mozilla.cfg is not encoded (obscure_value negates the need to encode)
\\
lockPref ("network.proxy.type", 4);
Apparently the \\ is required at the beginning of the mozilla.cfg file.

This works for both the stock Firefox 2.0.0.6 and the FM Firefox 2.0.0.6
So we can lock settings using the js.all/mozilla.cfg.
In my case the GPO settings are making it into the registry on the PC, but Firefox doesn't take them.
Settings are done in the User Configuration (not Computer).
NT2003 AD Native
PC is Windows XP SP2.

It went through 1-11 twice.
about:config now shows all the GPO settings and they're locked.

If I roll back to the non test 2.0.0.6 the settings don't take.
Reinstall the test and the settings take. Maybe it's a timing issue?

Uploaded a new compile of the non test version(only en-US for now), get it from the normal downloads. If this doesn't work may be I am hitting some sort of compiler bug.

The latest non test compile works here. The appropriate settings show locked in about:config.

Any updates on this problem ?
I'm hit too this this bug.
FF_FM_CE 2.0.11 and mozilla.adm 1.5
using mozilla.adm I want to set default values (not locked values) for proxy (computer configuration/admin template/mozilla/default settings) but nothing comes up in about:config. using regedit, I don't see values entered too...)
