What I need to accomplish: security.mixed_content.block_active_content = False Allow all pop-ups from salesforce.com

I need to do this for 70 computers within my domain.

To modify about:config, I've tried editing user.js (I had to create the user.js file as it did not exist in my profile folder) using the batch file below.

Batch File to edit user.js cd /D "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default" echo user_pref("security.mixed_content.block_active_content", "false");>>user.js


I've read that the permissions.sqlite file can be edited to allow the pop ups, is there a way for me to edit that from a batch file?

Are these modifications possible without having to visit each user?

You can also use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to specify new (default) values for refs.

Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes

I don't know of a way to easily modify the permissions.sqlite file to add an allow pop-up exception.
You would need an SQLite manager program that accepts command line input to add such a record.
The main problem would be to get the ID value to be used.

  • INSERT INTO "moz_hosts" VALUES ("<id>","www.salesforce.com","popup","1","0","0","0","0");
