Make firefox default browser for all users without firefox checking for default browser

Hi,
we have 2 citrix servers in the same farm . We want to make firefox the default browser for all of our users.We also want to ignore the settings that they decide themselves influencing the default browser. 
Now the citrix forum suggested that i made a gpo that edits the folowing register keys:
HKCR\http\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\http\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox HKCR\https\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\https\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox
so i did that , and all our links now open through firefox. 
However we still get the question to make firefox our default browser while it already is defined as default browser since it opens links using firefox.
the 2nd strange thing we encountered is when we open pdf's using firefox , firefox opens but the pdf's won't open untill we make firefox default browser using the provided popup window when we start firefox 
i have googled this for days now without a proper answer . i even tried to run the "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" command to fix it on my personal profile without any luck.that's why i am relying on your answer

Just in case, check this article for the missing information

Is there a way to install an extension such as CliCk Speak for all users of Firefox?

We need to have the CliCk Speak extension installed so all users of Firefox have access to it.

Adding an SSD is not a simple endeavour like adding additional memory or adding another hard drive to a Mac Pro. That's probably why the option is only offered as an option at the time of purchase. Even if your Apple store was willing to install the necessary parts you will probably be paying for 1-2 hours of labor plus the cost of purchasing the necessary service parts (SSD, bracket, cables, etc) which I suspect will make the upgrade cost much higher than what it costs to add the SSD option when purchasing a new system.
I use my system for business and need it to work reliably. Even though I'm fairly handy with tools I would not be willing to risk damaging my system and voiding my warranty by opening my system and removing the logic board and several other parts in order to squeeze in an SSD option and attach the appropriate cables and brackets. I'm also not prepared to deal with the hassles of explaining why my system has unauthorized parts installed in the event I experience issues and need to make use of my Apple warranty. My time is valuable, so I would probably investigate external storage options, or if I needed the speed of an SSD, I would consider selling my existing system and then purchase a new system configured with an SSD.
If you haven't already done so I suggest doing a search on 'iMac SSD installation' to see what's involved. It might help you understand why the SSD option is not offered post purchase.

Enable save for all users in rich client document defaultly for all users

Hi,
Is there a option to enable save for all users in a rich client document defaultly for all users across the company. As the users who are creating reports are forgetting to check the box before sending the rich client document to others. Kindly let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Karthik

I'd suggest that is is where your BO folder structure comes in. You can export from Rich Client to any folder that you have permissions to access - some sort of collaboration folder system would potentially be better and more secure than sending unsecured reports via email. If your IT security team found out that you were removing document security, I doubt they'd be impressed!
You can't do the default save for all users, simple as that (it's bad practice anyway, which is probably why you can't). While it's not the answer that you want to hear, it is the correct one.

How to create a default profile for all users in Firefox 9.

I run a computer lab, and am looking for a way to create a default profile in Firefox 9 that new users can use. I want them to be able to launch Firefox for the first time, and see my homepage. I want to disable any check for default browsers, firstrun pages, or any other prompts.
The old .adm files for group policy don't seen to be working any longer.

See http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/howtodeploy.htm
You can create a defaults\profile folder in the Firefox program folder and place files in it to be used to create and initialize a new profile.

HELP! Acrobat 9 - How to get rid of updater notification for all users without admin rights

I just bought Acrobat Pro 9 w/ volume licensing because Adobe said this would fix a problem we are having. Every morning we have users that login and get a box that says that do not have sufficient rights to update Adobe. I need this gone. Obviously I can't give them admin rights. We are running on 5 terminal servers running 2003 server. I just need a hack or something I don't really care.

Changing default open with for file type for all users

hello
can I change the default app to open a specific file type for all users and not juist for my user?
i am admin for my mac mini.
tnx
gil

What applications are offered for open with depends on the application itself informing the system it can open certain files, plus your own custom selections for opening files. Evidently the alternate app you want to use does not claim to be able to open the files you are assigning it. If you have a plist editor and know how to use it you could edit the info.plist file inside the application itself to add the file type you want to the application's declaration of file types it will open. Then restart so the system will read that declaration. I think it would be far easier to simply launch the application and then drop a file you want it to open onto its icon in the Dock.

Importing Certificates for all users on a machine

How do I import certificates for all users on a machine in Windows/OSX.
Since firefox does not use the system store and uses its own, we have been able to use a utility called certutil to add certificate to a user's firefox db on Linux. So if the user logs into any Linux system on our network he will have those certs in his trusted root cert authority for firefox. Unfortunately this does not carry over to firefox on osx as I am not sure why since it should carry over if the user's home is network. Then we have Windows users who basically have local accounts and we are looking for some solution to have it set up for all users without having to manually import for each user. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

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

This is a user to user forum. you are not addressing Apple. You can give Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
BTW: You do not speak for "all users apple". I for one have a LONG list of feature I would rather see than a flash for the iPad.

Is there a way to do "save for all users" automatically after export/import from the repository (macro maybe)?
Thanks,

Sideloading metro apps for all users

I am having problems with my sideloaded metro app…… Doesn’t seem to work anymore on any of my machines.
For the first few months, I originally installed my Metro app by first installing the app’s signed certificate to the local machine root store (All OK), then running the following command logged on as the actual user I wanted the app run
under.
Add-AppxPackage
-Path "MyMetroApp.appx"
-ForceApplicationShutdown
While this method sort of worked, it had two problems:
I needed to manually renew the developer licence every 30 days running
Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration
and I had to do this logged on as the user on the actual console, couldn’t to this using remote PowerShell.
I want to install the app properly for all users without needing to keep renewing the developer license. I have now run the following to install the app for all users:
#Allow Trusted Apps
New-Item
-Path "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx"
New-ItemProperty
-Path "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx"
-Name AllowAllTrustedApps
-PropertyType DWord
-Value 1
#Install the app for all users
Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage
-Online -PackagePath
"MyMetroApp.appx"
-SkipLicense
This method – even though it seemed to complete successfully, a couple of issues:
there’s no shortcut added to the start screen on one of my machines, so I can’t open the app
I am getting a message popup upon opening my app “The app can’t open: There's a problem with {app name}. Contact your system administrator about repairing or reinstalling it. [Close].” on another machine
Can someone please point me in right direction to get my app working again? I don’t think it’s anything major, I think I’m on the right track.

The main steps are detailed here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852635.aspx
It sounds like the app needs to be un-provisioned on your troublesome machine ?

How can I set the default home page in Firefox 4 for all users that login to a PC on a Win 7 PC?

I work at a community college in upstate NY.
We use Firefox as the default browser at our institution and we have always set the default homepage to be our homepage for all users that login to the PC. We had a procedure to to that that worked with Windows XP and FF 3 or earlier
We would do the following:
1. go to: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles\<profile_name>\prefs.js
2. Add the line: user_pref (“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.genesee.edu”);
3. Copy the Folder
C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
To
C:\Documents & Settings\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla
4. Restart the computer
We're going to Win 7 and Firefox 4 and things seem to be different in terms of files and file structure. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)
This article should help you with developing and deploying your customised Firefox 4 installation (without touching the Windows 7 default user profile):

Why does Firefox 31 change all PDF icons and opening in browser, require a fix using REGEDIT to fix for ALL USERS on a computer?

The solution to use REGEDIT in the question linked below almost fixed my trouble with PDF files on over 30 computers, with several users on each computer:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013642
But I needed to fix it for ALL users on a computer, without logging onto each account, on each computer. My fix was to logon as administrator and change the following system-global key instead:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.pdf
Name: Default
Type: Reg_SZ
Data: FirefoxHtm
Changed the data from FirefoxHtm to AcroExch.Document.11
I use Adobe Reader XI on Win7 Pro, 64-bit machines.
The problem started when I ran a downloaded file to install the new version of Firefox on the computers.
Why would Firefox require me to use REGEDIT in this manner to fix the problem?

This only happens when you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox thinks that there is currently no application the handles PDF files.

How to make custom append search help tab default for all users?

I've implemented my own search help append and I need to make the F4 search help to display my tab as default for all users. I know that search help stores the last tab used by the user in memory and when user uses the search help next time the last used tab is displayed but I have to make the system display the tab od my search help append always as default tab. Any idea how to do it?

hi
Enhancement using Append structures
 Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
structure.
Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
 Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP
