Setting initial default homepage

I am deploying FF18.0.2 to about 700 workstations, in the past I have been using;
Mozilla.cfg, copied to <install_Folder>
//Firefox Default Settings
// set Firefox Default homepage
pref("browser.startup.homepage","http://myhome.pagesite.org");
// disable default browser check
pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
// disable application updates
pref("app.update.enabled", false)
// disables the 'know your rights' button from displaying on first run
pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true);
// disables the request to send performance data from displaying
pref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
local-settings.js; Copied to <install_folder>\defaults\pref
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
lockPref("app.update.auto", false);
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
but the endusers can not change this homepage, how do I enable them to be able to change the default page?

The "browser.startup.homepage" is a complex pref and apparently requires a different approach to set as a default value.
See:
*http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/15/customizing-firefox-default-preference-files/
*defaultPref("browser.startup.homepage", "data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=http://www.bbc.co.uk");

  • Setting the Default Homepage for all current and new users but leave it user modifiable.

    I am in the process of creating our new Windows Deployment Image based on Windows 7. Previously I was able to use the browserconfig.properties file in the Firefox main program files directory to change the default homepage for all new profiles while still allowing the user of any given profile to change their homepage. I have not yet found any equivilent in FireFox 4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • 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):

  • Set initial value in a DD table

    Hi,
    I want set initial/default  value in a column when create a table by Tcode se11.
    please help me.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    You can do this using the Events in table maintenance generator,
    When you save an entry in table using SM30 or any other transaction, the default values get saved in the table along with the other entries...for instance you can disable the fields for input on SM30 for the fields where you want to default values...so that user cant enter values in table entries creation.
    To access events: SE11->Table maintenance generator->
    On the table maintenance screen->Menu->Details->Modifications->Events.
    Events: 01- Before save(Do F4 help for more events available)
    Routine: <give form name where you add code to default value on screen field>
    For more information on events you can search SDN
    Hope this helps you
    Regards

  • How to set a default firefox homepage on client workstations on a network with a server running windows 2003 server?

    I am running a small client server network with about 27 client machines and windows server 2003 is the server OS. I want the default webpage on firefox to display our department homepage when users log on. I have set IE7 already in the groups policy in the ISS section but this only affects IE7. Any idea how I can do this with Firefox?

    You can set or lock default prefs via a mozilla.cfg file.
    Pref: browser.startup.homepage , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.startup.homepage
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • Setting a default initial value to a CHAR type field in a custom table

    Is it possible to set a default initial value to a field in a customer table(Ztable) that is not SPACE?  SAP sets the initial value to " " space for datatype CHAR.
    I am looking at creating a field in a table that would always default to 'X' on creation of a new row.
    Your response is appreciated..

    Hi,
    I believe this cannot be done..
    If you are inserting the row through a program then you can insert the field value to be 'X'.. If the value is not passed ..Then it will be blank..
    If you are using table maintenance then in the PAI ..you can insert values..
    Thanks,

  • Can't Set Default Homepage in Safari

    I have tried repeatedly to set my Safari homepage.  I open the page I want, go to preferences, click the tab that says set current page.  Then if I leave that page and go to a different site, close out of Safari and then reopen Safari it opens to the last site I was visiting.  I don't get it.

    It rememebers your last seesion, you have to fiddle with the preferences to avoid that.
    Quit, reboot and relaunch Safari. Click your home button, do you go to your home page you have set in your preferences?
    Does your home page preference stay in Safari preferences upon relaunching of the program?
    If the answer to the above is no, then you have a corrupt Safari preferences file.
    Use the Finder > Go To Folder and type
    /Library/Preferences
    and press Go.
    A window appears, scroll down and find the
    com.apple.safari.plist
    file and Trash it
    Reboot and relaunch Safari, the file will be recreated in place blank, so set your Safari preferences again.

  • Why does Yahoo Search appear when I open a new tab, when Google is my default homepage?

    Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, when I open a new tab the yahoo search page appears, but my homepage is www.google.com.
    I have three tabs open at all times on my main foxfire window and always ask to restore them: Yahoo mail (my account), www.imdb.com, and http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/. Anytime I open a new tab http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears, but my default homepage is set to www.google.com.
    Interestingly, when I open a new window for firefox my default homepage of www.google.com appears, but http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears when I open new tabs.
    Why????
    Very annoying, but the highest of priorities.
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

    How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.  I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting.  I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened.  Can I set this as a default view?

    Hey Kris,
    You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
    Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
    Try this and then let me know.

  • Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

    I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
    By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Scott

  • How to set mozilla firefox homepage for all users in windows 7?

    I want to set same homepage for all users in windows 7.

    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

  • Can I set a default finder window style?

    I would like to set a default Finder window style that will affect all windows, new and old. I am able to set my default style to list, but I want to go beyond that. I want my windows to be lists, with only certain columns visible, I want the columns to be set to specific widths, and I want the windows to open as if the green button in the corner had been pressed.
    In Windows it is fairly easy to set a default Explorer window style with this level of setting. Can I do it on my Mac? Some setting I am missing, or some third party program?
    Thanks!

  • Query to set initial values

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to use queries to set initial values or change existing values?  For example, we are adding in a new sales employee that will be our sales rep for customers in a certain area.  Would it be possible to run a query that would set the Sales Employee field in the BP Master Data as this new sales rep if the customer is in that area?  If yes, what is the general process for using queries to set values in this manner (we have other things we would like to use this for as well, if its possible)?
    Thanks for the help

    Hi Todd,
    The best way to tackle this is probably to use a query to extract the business partners you wish to update and then use the Data Transfer Workbench to update the Business Partners in question.
    You could also add a Formatted Search to the Business Partner screen so all new Business Partners default to the correct Sales Person based upon territory/address or whatever criteria you like.
    Cheers,
    Sean
