With any new Browser update they also update their security on how Addons/Extensions and custom files are allowed to install. That is probably the biggest reason your custom files will not work since it is doesn't comply with the new Browser security updates. And since this is a FF End user help forum they can't help you with your customized files here. The only time FF End user forum can help is if the problem is FF itself but what your asking for help on isn't a FF issue since the files where written by yourself for FF.

Hi Krishna234, are you using the new Enterprise features of Firefox 60 ESR? You may want to migrate because in Firefox 62+, the components/utilities code is expected to stop working. But pref() and lockpref() should still work.

For now, I don't know how you can determine why the file isn't loading or isn't being applied, as the case may be. Perhaps there is some kind of logging you can enable which will record issues encountered during startup.

Jscher, Thanks for your response. Yes i am using Firefox 60.0.2 ESR for installation. No idea on why application is not reading mozilla.cfg file.

Westend, Thanks for the info on how FF support works. I am not saying the issue with FF. My question is any one can help me with FF 60.0.2 enterprise customized deployment.

Just because you do not understand this does not mean somebody else could not help so please do not say nobody here can help with this.

If you need a quick and dirty solution, you can set Firefox to trust the contents of the Windows certificate stored (shared by Microsoft browsers and by Chrome). That is this preference:

security.enterprise_roots.enabled => true

philipp or jscher2000,

I am able to insert my certificates in my machine. I think so they are storing in my profile under C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profile\abc\scert9.db fileit works as expected.


i have tried to login as test user and tried to login. Still i am seeing "Your connection is not secure" ... Later i have copied Cert9.db and Key4.db files to test user profile and after launch it worked as expected..


any alternative option to copy this files to all users ?

I have tried to use this

// If cert9.db isn't there, it's a new profile if (!certDBFile.exists()) {

   var defaultProfileDir = Services.dirsvc.get("GreD", Ci.nsIFile);
   defaultProfileDir.append("defaults");
   defaultProfileDir.append("profile");
   try {
       copyDir(defaultProfileDir, profileDir);
   } catch (e) {
       Components.utils.reportError(e);
   }

}else { //if cert9.db is less than 140kb, its a new one without the bank cert copy this one over if(certDBFile.fileSize<140000 ){ var defaultProfileDir = Services.dirsvc.get("GreD", Ci.nsIFile); defaultProfileDir.append("defaults"); defaultProfileDir.append("profile"); try {

       copyDir(defaultProfileDir, profileDir);

} catch (e) {

       Components.utils.reportError(e);

} }

}

function copyDir(aOriginal, aDestination) {

   var enumerator = aOriginal.directoryEntries;
   while (enumerator.hasMoreElements()) {
       var file = enumerator.getNext().QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIFile);
       if (file.isDirectory()) {
           var subdir = aDestination.clone();
           subdir.append(file.leafName);
           try {
               subdir.create(Ci.nsIFile.DIRECTORY_TYPE, FileUtils.PERMS_DIRECTORY);
               copyDir(file, subdir);
           } catch (e) {
               Components.utils.reportError(e);
           }
       } else {
           try {
               file.copyTo(aDestination, null);
           } catch (e) {
               Components.utils.reportError(e);
           }
       }
   }

}


it looks like it is not working!


Any suggestions?

Can you define not working? Is it not copying or is something failing?

mkaply,

when i add this script to .cfg file ... my application does not read my .cfg file and no changes are made for me or users..

If i remove these form the .cfg file... Then my application read the my.cfg file and make required customization to my application for all users.

Can you check the browser console to see if there is an error there?

more options

Actually I think I just discovered this problem in a separate bug.

The line:

const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu} = Components;

Must be at the TOP of the file before everything else (but after the first line)

// First line const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu} = Components;

If it is later in the file, it causes other code not to execute.

You mean on the top of .cfg file?

Thanks mkaply, jscher2000 and philipp

My issue is resolved. Now my users are able to launch the application with customized options.
