Hi all,

I'm having issues with firefox being able to use my Mozilla.cfg file settings. I receive a "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." error when attempting to use my configuration.

I created the local-settings.js file referencing the Mozilla.cfg file.

Here are the contents of the Mozilla.cfg file.

// lockPref("app.update.enabled", false); lockPref("app.update.interval", 1273520281); lockPref("browser.download.dir", "N:"); lockPref("browser.download.downloadDir", "N:"); lockPref("browser.formfill.enable", false); lockPref("browser.search.update", false); lockPref("browser.search.update.interval", 1273520281); lockPref("browser.sessionstore.privacy_level", 2); lockPref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false); lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", ""); lockPref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart", true); lockPref("browser.tabs.remote.force-enable", true); lockPref("browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled”, false); lockPref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true); lockPref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", true); lockPref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true); lockPref("dom.disable_window_flip", true); lockPref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.status", true); lockPref("dom.event.contextmenu.enabled", false); lockPref("dom.ipc.plugins.hangUITimeoutSecs", 30); lockPref("dom.max_script_run_time", 15); lockPref("extensions.blocklist.enabled", false); lockPref("extensions.update.enabled", false); lockPref("extensions.update.interval", 1273520281); lockPref("general.smoothScroll", false); lockPref("image.mem.surfacecache.max_size_kb", 102400); lockPref("network.protocol-handler.external.shell", false); lockPref("plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types", "application/pdf, application/doc, application/xls, application/bat, application/ppt, application/mdb, application/mde, application/fdf, application/xfdf, application/lsl, application/lso, application/lss, application/iqy, application/rqy, application/xlk, application/pot, application/pps, application/dot, application/wbk, application/ps, application/eps, application/wch, application/wcm, application/wbi, application/wb1, application/wb3, application/rtf, application/ad, application/adp, application/xlt, application/dos, application/wks"); lockPref("privacy.sanitize.promptOnSanitize", false); lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); lockPref("privacy.sanitize.timeSpan", 40); lockPref("security.default_personal_cert", "Ask Every Time"); lockPref("security.enable_ssl2", false); lockPref("security.enable_ssl3", false); lockPref("security.enable_tls", true); lockPref("security.tls.version.max", 3); lockPref("security.tls.version.min", 1); lockPref("security.warn_leaving_secure", true); lockPref("signon.prefillForms", false); lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false); lockPref("xpinstall.whitelist.required", true);

Any thoughts on what I might be missing? I don't think I made any formatting errors. I've tried it in ESR 52.2.1 and Release 51 without any success.

I notice an Unicode quote in the file that is a likely cause:

  • lockPref("browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled, false);

Note that you have a lot of prefs in the file that aren't supported for quite some time in current Firefox releases. You can check them in a clean profile without the JS file in "defaults/pref" file in place that specifies mozilla.cfg.

Some examples:

lockPref("security.enable_ssl2", false);
lockPref("security.enable_ssl3", false);
lockPref("security.enable_tls", true);

Thanks for that. Found it and made the change. I'm having to go through and do these one by one till it breaks. I know a lot of these are old settings but they're a requirement to be in this file for this project.

The file worked for me with this single change.

Note that you can also use try{}catch(e){} blocks in mozilla.cfg and other JavaScript code.
