Publishing Mozilla Firefox 1.5.x And A Basic Configuration
Tuesday, 09 May 2006 by Michel Roth
This document consists of a brief, basic configuration example for Mozilla Firefox 1.5.x. This example contains steps to configure proxy settings globally for any new user running Firefox. Firefox documentation should be reviewed before deploying the product in a production environment.

Publish Firefox according to the documentation for the version of Citrix MetaFrame or Citrix Presentation Server in use. The default path to the Firefox executable is: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

Firefox mainly uses text files for configuration as opposed to most other Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer which mainly uses the registry. Firefox uses text files as templates for new users who log on and run the application. In this example, the template file used is named all.js and is located in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs. This file controls functionality such as default settings for proxy servers, news servers, cookies, and fonts. Once a user logs on and launches the application, the user can then change these default settings which will then take precedence over the defaults specified in the all.js file.

Read the full instructions in CTX109662.
