How can i deploy plugins for Firefox via SCCM

Hello All,
I've been asked to deploy some plugins for all our users (namely AdBlock, FireIE and NoScript) across the whole domain. We'd like to do this via SCCM as it is centrally managed and works the best for our environment, plus with people being offsite a lot we can also control and deploy through our VPN solution.
I've read many sources and found that it's not really centrally manageable (currently) or so straightforward. I've found a way to create a deployment that include the plugins which is sufficient in terms of deployment but not ideal, however the main problem is the automatic deployment of settings for the plugins. For example, in the FireIE plugin we have a number of internal websites that use SSO and having the ability to use these within Firefox is extremely advantageous not only for security reasons but also in terms of performance. I can export and import settings but don't want to have to do this for every single user as it would take an awful long time.
Is there a simple way to create a deployment in SCCM (whether it be MSI based, script based, whatever) that would allow this to happen.
All help is greatly appreciated!

How to install vlc-plugin for firefox?

I know the vlc-plugin package has been removed a while ago.
How can the vlc plugin be installed and used?
I have vlc installed, but the vlc plugin isn't shown in firefox's about:addons.
I checked both the wiki and the forums, but couldn't find any helpful information.

it was removed with a reason. is not compatible with ff 4 and up. upstream removed from vlc in the next version(1.2) and is in a separate repo.

How can I disable prompts for Firefox updates on a Terminal Server (Citrix)?

Does any know how I can disable updates and update prompting in Citrix for Firefox 3.6?
I've got a 3rd party application that has lots of problems in Firefox 4, so I can't upgrade at this time. I just want to stop users from getting this prompt.

Thank you for the quick reply, but I've already tried that, it only affects the one user that un-checks the box. All other users still get prompted.
I'm trying to avoid having to have every single user go through this process.

How to install addon / plugin for firefox installed in computers on domain?

I've around 150 computer on a windows based domain server. All the computers installed with Firefox latest version. We want to install a certain plugin / add-on ( example : adblock, windows media player plugin ) to all the computers with firefox.
Doing it individually would consume alot of effort and time of the engineer. Any help for this is greatly appreciated.

If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet, How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet, How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet, How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet

Hi,
I would like to use Ethernet instead of wifi. My Mac mini is upstairs, my router is downstairs. I have an old spare router, can I possibly use this with an Ethernet cable, or do I have to connect it to the router downstairs or to the phone jack. If this is not the solution, can you advise of any other way please.
Thanks
rafromvalencia

Your downstairs router can be installed anywhere in your home, but telephone companies or ISPs are only obligated to install their equipment just barely inside its service entrance. Usually, that location is the worst possible one for a home network, since it's in a basement or some remote corner, far from all the devices that use it.
Your idea to install an Ethernet cable to extend its reach to a more suitable location is an excellent one and will be worth the effort or expense. If you don't want to do it yourself a qualified electrician can perform the work quickly and elegantly, and you may find the cost surprisingly affordable. Ask your friends and neighbors to recommend a reputable electrician and get a written estimate.

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

Note that Firefox disables the disk cache if you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cache (see about:cache), so you can either disable the disk cache via its related pref or set the prefs related to clearing this data,but then other items that have a check-mark by default are cleared as well.
*browser.cache.disk.enable
*privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache
*privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file 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");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

[SOLVED] Can't Find IcedTea7 Java Plugin for Firefox

Hello everybody,
I'm new to Arch (have used Linux for some time but never got too deep into configurations and such). I've always just used proprietary versions of Java in the past, even on Linux, but now that I have a really cutomized Arch box, I'd like to try and support OpenJDK+IcedTea.
I followed the Wiki instructions by installing jre7-openjdk, jdk7-openjdk, and icedtea-web-java7 packages. All I want is to link to the plugin for firefox. However, I don't actually see the .so plugin file anywhere, nor do I know how to see where pacman installs things.
I have a folder /usr/share/icedtea-web/ that contains the files about.jar, about.jnlp, netx.jar, and plugin.jar.
I remember .jar files are Java archives, but I actually have no idea what to do with them or how to use them as I'm not too familiar with Java (but I do run browser applets using the plugin).
I apologize for my noobness in this, but can anybody help me figure out how to find or acquire or extract the .so plugin file for firefox?
Thanks,
Dave

Great, thank you so much! Actually, it was already fixed before I read your reply, but it's still informative (I wasn't sure how to find file lists for pacman packages).
I just removed and reinstalled all the java packages and it worked. I might have done it in the wrong order or something when I did it the first time. I wasn't sure if the web test on the Java website checked for the Oracle plugin specifically or just a valid JRE implementation, but it worked, so I guess OpenJDK is working great so far.

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

Hi Stephan,
Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login?

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and Active Directory with a goal to automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login? (NOT an option for me to use BitLocker)
I was asked to deploy EFS to encrypt the user my documents folder and profile on all of the users laptops. The laptops are in common areas (board meeting rooms, etc) and security of files is a must.
I successfully created a recovery certificate in AD. I created an OU and setup an EFS policy and users can now login and select to encrypt their own files. The issue is that management would like to have automaticy Encrypt ALL users my documents AUTOMATICALLY
when a user login.
Can this be done?

Where is "Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox?"

I can not find this plug in for the version of Firefox I have 3.6.8, even though it already runs with it?
I can not find Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox for Firefox 3.6.8 even though I already have Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox running on a version of Firefox 3.6.8 on other computers.
# There is no regular information that tells you how to get this plugin as there is with other plugins.
# When GWT Devmode loads the Firefox brower, it says "missing plugin." you click to install, and it can't find it.
# I know that I have previously been able to install Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox version 1.0.7511 installed on Firefox 3.6.8 on another machine. But I'm migrating to this one.
(Edited to correct the formatting to stop the post scrolling to the right - TonyE)

Hi richkatz,
I'm on FF3.6.2 and today, I encounter the same problem.
I got the solution by opening the download page in another tab. Then the firefox message switched from "Look for Plugin" to "Autorise FF to install the plugin".
Here is the URL of my new tab, hoping that it works for FF3.6.8 : https://dl-ssl.google.com/gwt/plugins/firefox/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi
Seeya! ;)
