How to install Firefox for ALL users

I need all users on my computer to have firefox. It will only install to a specific user when logged into that account. When I try to install to a second account, it uninstalls the first location.
Where is the firefox install file to install for everyone on the computer? (just like every other install program...except for this one lately.) Note: I am NOT talking about extensions, just the firefox program itself.

Hi,
You have to install it only once from any account by right-clicking on the Firefox installer and '''Run as administrator'''. All the users will have their separate personal settings.

How to install extension for all users?

How to install extensions for all users? I'am using Windows

You may have to log in as the Administrator user rather than
"run as adminstrator".
Beyond that, are there really enough users on a system that
they can't install the extension(s) they need themselves?

How do you configure Firefox for all users on a machine?

I want to
1. Take my existing set-up of Firefox
a. with all bookmarks
b. with all my chosen options
c. with my default start-up home page
d. bypass all the initial Firefox startup screen and "make this your default screen"
2. Have it be the base set-up for all users that log into a machine on our domain.
Is there a config file? Where do I place this config file so when all open their firefox it takes the above settings. I am creating a base image using VMware and will want this set-up so when a user log in with their logon credentials and open Firefox, it already has the above mentioned settings in place.

See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
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

How to change settings for all users?

Hi All,
In cPro we have User Settings button. On clicking that we get a Tabstrip where you will find "User" tab.
my question is: How can we change the default settings for all users e.g setting the checkbox "Scheduling only manually" to true ?
Best Regards,
Arti.

Hi Arti,
In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.

How to install Firefox for Mac on an external USB 3.0 drive and run Firefox portable?

I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro 10.9 Mavericks laptop and, I would like to to install Firefox for Mac on a Mac-compatible external USB 3.0 HD, and import my 16MB of legacy bookmarks from a PC-compatible USB 2.0 HD and, run Firefox as a portable application, as I did for years on my 7-year-old EOS'd Dell Inspiron XP laptop.
Do-able?
If so, I would like to do the same with Thunderbird...

Hi,
There are portable versions of Firefox and Thunderbird but Mozilla doesn't offer them directly. You can get them from PA.com. Links are below:
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Firefox 28.0]
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable Thunderbird 24.4.0]
All you have to do is open it, and point the installation directory to your USB Stick

How to create gpo for all users in all ou?????

hello,plz help me.i want to create gpo for all users in all ou.but i dont want that gpo to do in domain????

Can you elaborate what you mean by "but i dont want that gpo to do in domain"?
In terms of applying it to all users, that's simple enough, you can simply leave the GPO's security filtering with its default setting as "Authenticated Users" which then apply to everyone.
In terms of it applying to all OUs, you only have two options.
1) Create the GPO and link it to the root of your domain, so it then applies to the entire domain and all the OUs within it.
2) Create the GPO, but instead link it to each OU that you want it to apply to. You can apply one GPO to as many OUs as you want, simply right click on the OU and select "Link an Existing GPO...". It's then not applied to the root of the domain, only the
OUs, but any changes you make to the GPO are applied to all the OUs that you've linked it to (rather than having a separate GPO for each of them).

How to set preferences for all users?

I'm working with a windows CITRIX server and I need to disable the 'Remember passwords for sites' preference for all the users on the server. How do you do this for any user launching firefox on the server?

You can lock the signon.rememberSignons pref to false via the mozilla.cfg file.
lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
You canuse 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");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How can I disable the 'First Run' and 'Whats New' pages from showing after updating Firefox for all users that log onto a system.

I am a system administrator and need a way to set a global preference to not open the Whats New and first run pages. I found the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone preference in the user profile but want to be able to set this globally.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:

Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

SSO installation for all users

Hello,
When I install the SAP SSO, it is being installed just for the current user, which means if I have a laptop that travel between several users on the company I work for, I need to install the SSO for each user individually.
Is there a way of installing SSO for all users?
My scenario is this, I deploy windows using MDT (Microsoft deployment) and install SSO as part of the deployment process.
When i login with the admin user that i used for installing windows, I see SSO in programs and features, but when login with a different user, I don't see SSO in programs and features.
Thanks.

You only need to install it once. Make sure java is in their PATH for their shell's .profile.

Adobe Connect Pro Add-In for All Users

We need to install Adobe Connect Pro Add-In for all users in a Citrix environment. However, when installing the add-in there is no prompt to input a location. It directly installs the add-in on a specific user profile. Is there anyway to install this for all users as normal users do not have access to install anything on our environments? Please help as I cannot find any information on this.

Hi kylemkr
