Bug with FMFirefox 2.0.0.4

Post by CGirardy » Thu Jul 26, 2007 3:02 am

Hi DraconPern,
Summer is a great period for upgrading a whole set of computers....
I'm trying to use your FrontMotion Firefox version and avoid the GPO extension as I was using before.

Questions :
1) In your latest Mozilla.adm v1.4, there's a default Settings section. I assume that this will allow use to set a parameter without locking it. At the moment, it doesn't work for me. Is it a bug ? (explained here event if it's not exactly the same thing ? http://forums.frontmotion.com/viewtopic.php?t=431)
The GPO is read, the parameters are in the registry but not applied by Firefox.

2) If this was not the intention, do you have a way to set a parameter without locking it (as I was doing with the GPO extension) ?

3) In the process of upgrading my 200 computers, I'd like to know if you will release 2.0.0.5 soon ? Just to avoid deploying 2.0.0.4 and restarting in 2 days :)

Thanks in advance

UPDATE : One more question, could you please make an adm file that includes all the extensions options please ?
I know you have a way to extract every possible settings in Firefox so could you please extract one where my extensions are included ?
That would allow me to configure the extensions quickly.
The idea would be that you extract all the settings and I will make adm by extension. Is it possible ?

UPDATE 2 : I have a problem when upgrading from my previous installed version on all computers : the option app.update.enabled is locked to false.
Whatever I try to set with the GPO, it doesn't change anything and always stays to false..... I don't know exactly why it does this. Can you help ?

I have the same issue with default settings in the FMFirefoxCE-2.0.0.4-sv-SE.msi package, I assumed firefox would read the default settings when generating a new profile but I checked with regmon and firefox never reads that part off the registry.

FMFirefoxCE-2.0.0.4-sv-SE.msi also registers as the US-EN version in the registry.

The user (not machine) GPO processing was missing in 2.0.0.4, fixed in 2.0.0.5 and will have the same behavior as 2.0.0.2 which had the new code.

app.update.enabled is always locked to false since it doesn't make sense for users to do updates.

default settings is currently not enabled, only locked preferences work.

Also, 2.0.0.5 is out!

DraconPern,
What about the extraction of the adm file ?
Can you do something for me ?

Thanks

EDIT: your packager doesn't seem to be working, it's been Quequed for more than 20 minutes. Just to let you know

Packager fixed, I was upgrading the server to sp2. The customized adm is abit tougher to do, I'll have to think about how to go about it first.
