Preventing "Firefox Updated" page/tab
I currently have a terminal that is being loaded with a pre-generated boot image (not unlike a live CD), however when I created the image I used Firefox 3.6.8.
Last week I rebuilt the image with Firefox 3.6.10, yet all of my settings were still "linked" to 3.6.8, and as a result the "Firefox Updated" page is trying to load. This terminal will NOT have any means of access that site, and this terminal should NEVER ever show that page. It is configured to load a specific page, and only that page. Yet, no matter how I configure my prefs.js file, it always tries to show the "Firefox Updated" page, here are my settings:
user_pref("browser.migration.version", 0);
user_pref("browser.places.importBookmarksHTML", false);
user_pref("browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion", 2);
user_pref("browser.rights.3.shown", false);
user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash", false);
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://my_startup_site.com/index.php");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
user_pref("browser.tabs.warnOnClose", false);
user_pref("distribution.openSUSE.bookmarksProcessed", false);
user_pref("extensions.enabledItems", "[email protected]:1.0.1,{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}:3.6.10");
user_pref("extensions.lastAppVersion", "3.6.10");
user_pref("extensions.update.autoUpdate", "false");
user_pref("extensions.update.autoUpdateEnabled", "false");
user_pref("extensions.update.notifyUser", false);
user_pref("intl.charsetmenu.browser.cache", "UTF-8");
user_pref("network.cookie.prefsMigrated", true);
user_pref("privacy.sanitize.migrateFx3Prefs", true);
user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
Yet, when the system finishes booting I get this:
user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.places-maintenance-timer", 1282780604);
user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1282780734);
user_pref("browser.migration.version", 1);
user_pref("browser.places.importBookmarksHTML", false);
user_pref("browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion", 2);
user_pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true);
user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash", false);
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://my_startup_site.com/index.php");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "rv:1.9.2.8");
user_pref("browser.tabs.warnOnClose", false);
user_pref("distribution.openSUSE.bookmarksProcessed", true);
user_pref("extensions.enabledItems", "[email protected]:1.0.1,{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}:3.6.10");
user_pref("extensions.lastAppVersion", "3.6.10");
user_pref("extensions.update.notifyUser", false);
user_pref("intl.charsetmenu.browser.cache", "UTF-8");
user_pref("network.cookie.prefsMigrated", true);
user_pref("privacy.sanitize.migrateFx3Prefs", true);
user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
user_pref("urlclassifier.keyupdatetime.https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/newkey", 1285372400);
The prefs.js file is downloaded the first time the system boots, if it requires an update, otherwise it simply uses what is on the disk. It is during the importing phase that this breaks.
As you can see in my first listing, I'm attempting to disable automatic updating of anything, and I've used a whole bunch of web-sites to try to get this to work. Based on all of the information I have looked over, I should be able to leave this as is:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
And simply update these:
user_pref("extensions.enabledItems", "[email protected]:1.0.1,{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}:3.6.10"); user_pref("extensions.lastAppVersion", "3.6.10");
To what ever version is new. I'd prefer to not have to do anything at all. I want to be able to use the newer versions at will with out having to clear my profile, and not get that update page.

Use Prefs, lockPrefs or defaultPrefs in your file.
lockprefs obviously locks the setting so it can't be changed. Prefs allows per session changes then reverts back. defaultPrefs sets the settings and allows user changing.
You will also want to use the mozilla.cfg since we're at 7 now. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
