Having DeepFreeze installed on serveral computers, when rebooted Firefox still continues to ask for import and default browsing, need a config file please.
Hello
We are a school district with several computer labs, DeepFreeze is install on these workstations using a "generic user" logon, so when the computer is restarted for each student, Firefox will ask to set "default browsing" and "import" questions, we are needing to script this in a pre-answer file so the students don't have to continue to ask these questions each time a computer is rebooted. How can someone assist. We appreciate all that you can "do" for us.
Thanks,

Boot the computer in the "thawed" mode. Open Firefox, open IE. After you've gone through the setup steps for both browsers, close the browser windows and reboot the computer back into the "Frozen" mode and your settings should be saved.
Those steps should fix it.
Hello,
We have tried this "thawing" several times, also we are using a mandatory profile for the "generic user" we have created the mandatory profile several times and answer both "default browser" and "import" questions during the creation of the mandatory profile, still having the same questions reoccurring after a reboot. Is there a configuration file or maybe a script that can be executed from the student login to auto answer these questions,. Please help.

Are the computers running Deep Freeze bound to ActiveDirectory? If so you could try reading the link below for more information about using scrips to configure Firefox.
If it includes loading the third party Microsoft unsupported templates, then my system administrator will not load the templates, I was hoping to get this task completed at a site level as oppose to using Active Directory Group Policies, if a GPO is our only solution then I have already been "denied" by my system administrator and my Director.
Can a script file be executed during a student logon? preferably without the need of a Group Policy? Any assistance will be well appreciated.
A mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder can be used to set and lock preference values and run privileged JavaScript code.
A local-settings.js file needs to be placed 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");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
