here is what we do: set pref for all users from a single firefox.cfg file (<a title="http://mit.edu/~firefox/www/maintainers/autoconfig.html" href="http://mit.edu/%7Efirefox/www/maintainers/autoconfig.html"> http://mit.edu/~firefox/www/maintainers/autoconfig.html</a> ) and the files we use... /usr/local/firefox_2/bookmarks.html <<-- you general links :-) /usr/local/firefox_2/ltsp-in-schools.cfg <<-- general configuration for all users /usr/local/firefox_2/defaults/pref/all.js <<-- tells firefox to use ltsp-in-schools.cfg the contents of "all.js" pref('general.config.obscure_value', 0); pref('general.config.filename ', 'ltsp-in-schools.cfg'); the contents of "ltsp-in-schools.cfg" // Set Cache Directory //var env_user = getenv("USER"); //var cache_dir = "/var/tmp/MozillaFirefox-" + env_user + "/Cache/"; //lockPref('browser.cache.disk.parent_directory', cache_dir); // Security Settings lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false); // set local squid as default proxy // squid is probably redirected through ISP's proxy for adult content filtering ! pref("network.proxy.http", "server.ltsp"); pref("network.proxy.http_port", 3128); pref("network.proxy.type",1); // set school's home page pref("browser.startup.page ",1); pref('browser.startup.homepage','<a href="http://www.google.co.il/'">http://www.google.co.il/'</a>); // clear download bar when browser closes pref("downbar.function.clearOnClose ",true); // no crash recovery pref("browser.sessionstore.enabled",false); // adblock pref("extensions.adblockplus.frameobjects",false); pref("extensions.adblockplus.showintoolbar ",false); pref("extensions.adblockplus.showsubscriptions",false); pref("extensions.adblockplus.frameobjects",false); // firefox updates pref("extensions.update.enabled",false); pref("extensions.update.notifyUser",false); // language pref("font.language.group","he"); pref("intl.charset.default","ISO-8859-8"); pref("intl.charsetmenu.browser.static ","ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, ISO-8859-8-I, ISO-8859-8, windows-1255"); pref("spellchecker.dictionary","he-IL"); // use kmail as email client for mailto: links pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto ","kmailservice"); // use my fonts to display hebrew with nikod correctly pref("browser.display.use_document_fonts",0); // one bookmarks.html file to all students :-) pref(" browser.bookmarks.file","/usr/local/firefox_2/bookmarks.html"); enjoy :-) <div>On 4/10/07, Rob Owens <<a href="mailto:rowens@ptd.net"> rowens@ptd.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">bookmarks.html is actually a simple web page. So you could put a copy of it in a public folder and send everyone a link to it. When they open it in Firefox, they'll see a text-like list of the teacher's links, and they can click on each one to be brought to the corresponding web page. -Rob On Mon, Apr 09, 2007 at 09:39:22PM -0500, Peter Scheie wrote: > I swear someone just asked this question, but I can't find it in my > archives.
