Re: Firefox 8.0.1
Thanks for the heads up! I get the sense that the x.0.1 releases are like the 'real' releases.. lol

@DraconPern
Is it possible to make more transparenz to our release strategie ? I think the most users are admins in enviroment´s above 100 clients, so we must plan some rollouts.
Best Practise : Version 8.0.1 is out. So i don´t want to deploy 8.0. But i must tell my users when the new version will be aviable. Today i can´t tell them any date or range when i will deploy because i must wait wenn frontmotion version is ready to build. That reason is not so good all the time and i hope we can do it a little bit kommunikative ?

Re: Firefox 8.0.1
I try to give a release date as soon as I can, at the moment, it's the start of the holiday season in the US so things have been a bit slower. 8.0.1 Should be ready by tuesday.

Re: Firefox 8.0.1
Just wanted to say awesome job on this package. Working so far with no problems. I even pushed it with SCCM while a user had FMFirefoxCE 7.0.1 open and in use. It installed in the background and the user was none the wiser. After they closed the browser and re-opened it, it was 8.0.1 (magically).

Re: Firefox 8.0.1
Yeah I noticed this too with recent releases. You don't have to have the program closed to update. When the user opens the Firefox again they're on the 8.0.1
Nice work!

Re: Firefox 8.0.1
I am having an issue with the extensions.checkCompatibility poping up after the update from 7.0.1 to 8.0.1. It only runs the one time and then is gone for good but I need some guidance in supressing this completly.
I am modifying the pref\firefox.js with pref("extensions.checkCompatibility", false) I have also tried pref("extensions.checkCompatibility.8.0.1", false) and many other version of that with no luck.
Anyone have any pointers for me?
Thanks!

Re: Firefox 8.0.1
Do you mean the new Add-on Controls check?
From an earlier DraconPern post and another source:
extensions.shownSelectionUI=true (disables addon disable on update check)
extensions.autoDisableScopes=11 (excludes appdir addons from autodisable checking on install)

Re: Firefox 8.0.1
Are you sure about this? Maybe I'm an idiot but I've just downloaded and done an admin install of the Firefox and FMFirefoxCE MSIs in English and whatever language "BG" is and they all have the pref\firefox.js "app.update.enabled" set to True.DraconPern wrote:o.O let me check..

Re: Firefox 8.0.1
Ah, but those setting are overriden either through code in fmfirefoxce or through Mozilla.cfg for firefoxmsi. Additionally they are locked so users will not be able to enable them.

Great, thank you for the info. Put a check in the idiot column for me.

The only results i get out of adding extensions.shownSelectionUI=true and changing autoDisableScopes=11 is the window changes theme/style.
Any thoughts?
