Firefox for Enterprise Community Forum

Hello Mozilla Community,

I am an administrator in a company where we currently use Microsoft Intune for software distribution. We are currently deploying Firefox 76.0, which automatically updates itself and is no longer at version 76.0. However, we are planning to switch to the Firefox ESR version.

In our organization, we are not allowed to use Mozilla accounts for syncing passwords and bookmarks due to internal policies. Our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible for our users, with as much automation as possible, while still ensuring that they can sync their passwords and bookmarks effectively without relying on Mozilla accounts.

Is there a way to achieve this, perhaps through a third-party tool or another method that integrates well with Intune and respects our privacy requirements?

Any guidance or suggestions to make this process smooth and user-friendly would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help.

We use ESR due to its stability and long term security updates, and we use Duo as our SSO/IDP.

We have Duo set to deny login when the browser is more than 6 mo out of date, but due to the way FF reports only the main version number via the user agent Duo is unable to determine that FF ESR is actually up to date and thinks that it's too old and my users are being denied login or getting an erroneous message about needing to update their browser.

Is there a way to set FF to report it's whole version to Duo? We would prefer not to have to "outlaw" FF in our prod environment if at all possible.

I want you people to release the treasure funds , so the world can be a better place , when we invest the money in Agriculture and livestock. Thanks 😊 🫂 from Edijala Oghenekevwe

Hello,

I am reaching out to gain information on ADMX GPO policies. We are retiring Policy Pak which used to add all the policies and secure Firefox for Enterprise. What we noticed is that Policy Pak used the app set to apply these policies and we are noticing that native GPO's for the most part to match the Policy Pak policies is not as accurate for GPO's My ask here is there any Most Viable Product suggestions to apply Native GPO's for securing Firefox.

Hi All,

I'm using Firefox on 24 PC's in a primary school computer Lab, I have had reports of students installing extensions and plugins that i wish to stop, also i've had issues with students not signing out of their email and other students gaining access.

Im looking for solutions for the following and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction -

1. Disabling the installations of extensions and plugins. 2. Clearing browsing history/logging out of any accounts. 3. Locking settings so students can't change settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Adam

My company has been using the same customized autoconfig.js without issue since last year's FF 115 esr release on our Ubuntu servers.

cat /opt/firefox-115.13.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

Now we are testing the 128 esr next releases with the same config and getting the failed to read the configuration file. please contact your system administrator error

cat /opt/firefox-128.1.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

If remove pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); or set it to 1, the error goes away, but our actual firefox.cfg does not get read and are configs are not present at all.

Hi team, I need a few insights on auto update policy - I have used your knowledge base sources and have created policies to auto update firefox in our environment via intune, unfortunately the settings are not working as expected. I'd appreciate any comments and assistance on this matter. This the source I followed: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/managing-firefox-intune
