autoconfig file being parsed but not applied in firefox 100
Hi
My firefox 97 autoconfig worked. In version 100, i had to remove some elements and replace some with the new settings. It is now parsed on load but does not lock anything per autoconfig. Any assistance would be appreciated. File content is below:
// Firefox Default Settings -begin config file const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu} = Components; Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm"); Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/FileUtils.jsm");

Are there errors reported in the Browser Console ?
Note that you need to disable the sandbox via the autoconfig.js file in the "defaults\pref" directory where the channel-prefs.js file is located.
//
pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); // disable sandbox
- autoconfig.cfg and autoconfig.js need to start with a comment line (//)
- autoconfig.js needs to use Unix line endings (LF instead of CR/LF)
See also:
Just to be sure, is there any reason adding these three lines at the top as only there presence needs the sandbox disabled and I'm not seeing special code in what you posted (i.e. I only see lockPref() calls) ?
const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu} = Components;
Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/FileUtils.jsm");
You can remove those three lines and leave the sandbox enabled.

Yes, i have code i am adding once the base config works to get the profile generated with the stylesheets. thx for great support. i am trying now...
var profileDir = Services.dirsvc.get("ProfD", Ci.nsIFile); var chromeDir = profileDir.clone(); chromeDir.append("chrome");
// If chrome folder isn't there, it's a new profile if (!chromeDir.exists()) {
Cu.reportError("chrome folder not found");
var defaultProfileDir = Services.dirsvc.get("GreD", Ci.nsIFile);
defaultProfileDir.append("defaults");
defaultProfileDir.append("profile");
try {
Cu.reportError("copying profile folder");
copyDir(defaultProfileDir, profileDir);
} catch (e) {
Cu.reportError(e);
}
}
function copyDir(aOriginal, aDestination) {
var enumerator = aOriginal.directoryEntries;
while (enumerator.hasMoreElements()) {
var file = enumerator.getNext().QueryInterface(Ci.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) {
Cu.reportError(e);
}
} else {
try {
file.copyTo(aDestination, null);
} catch (e) {
Cu.reportError(e);
}
}
}
}
That is the code I posted in this thread:
