I wish to user the FoxFilter addon to prevent users from visit all websites, except a whitelist. This addon works fine. I just need the addon to work for all users on the computer. Not just the one the addon was installed for. Can this be done and if so, how?

This is very possible and you can do it in few very steps.

1-First you have to download the xpi add-on file instead of installing it.

2-Use the following command at the run prompt (type Windows + R): firefox -install-global-extension

For example if your downloaded xpi add-on is on C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\

Then you write firefox -install-global-extension C:\Users\Simon\Downloads

Note : The addon will be normally available where every addon is. Keep in mind that only administrators can uninstall it. Have a nice day Sincerely, Ahmed Nefzaoui

Thanks. But the addon is showing as disabled. I need it to be enabled by default. Also can I need the settings for the addon to be the same for all users.
