Setting up firefox on a Windows Terminalserver

Hi
What are the possibilities to control the usage of firefox on a Windows Terminalserver? Are there ways to manage plugins/addons used on a system? I want to provide certain Plugins for all users on the system and disable the possibility to install others.
Additionally we need to configure a proxy to contact the net, so we need to set the proxy globally (and disable the configuration, so my users won´t offline themselfs).
I did not find any Information about Firefox on Terminalsservers, so any Info, How-To or Best-Practice-Dokumentation will be helpful.

Winston – Thanks for your advice. Thanks to you, I seem to be pretty close to having this thing under control. After I designated the movies folder on the TC as my Music folder in iTunes, I double clicked on a couple of the files and each immediately showed up in my iTunes movies folder. They also streamed to my Apple TV without incident. So far so good.
My original movies folder on the TC is named M4V Movies. Somehow, iTunes created a subfolder in my M4V Movies folder, named it Movies, and moved the two movie files I had double clicked on there. From this I inferred that any movie I moved into the M4V Movies\Movies folder would show up in iTunes. Unfortunately, it didn’t work that way, as I moved another movie file from M4V Movies to the Movies subfolder and the file I had moved there didn’t appear in iTunes.
Finally, I simply dragged the remaining movie files’ icons into iTunes and, Voila!, they showed up both there and in my Shared Movies folder on Apple TV. Thus, it looks like the worst is over. The only remaining problem is that three of my movie files in iTunes are in the Movies subfolder but all of the others remain in the M4V Movies folder, although all are in the iTunes apps Movies folder. But that’s a problem for another day. By the way, dragging the movie files into the iTunes Movies folder did not cause them to be copied to the C: drive, the only full version of each is still on the TC.
Thanks for your help, I couldn’t have done it without you.

  • I can't set up firefox on my windows xp-- says i don't meet system reqirements but I DO!!

    I've used Firefox for years with no problem.A couple days ago it "crashed" and it wouldn't open.Of course I lost all my bookmarks.
    I tried to set it up again and it said I didn't meet system reqirements.
    I have windows xp,2gb ram and 500gb hard drive.
    When I checked your website for system requirements,it appears that I have more than enough,yet it won't allow me to set up mozilla.
    I tried to set up the latest version(4) but I also tried earlier versions and it just won't allow set up.

  • Using firefox 30 in windows 7 i get a blank page when restarting if i only have one tab open when i close.

    I have my options set for firefox to "open windows and tabs from last time", but anytime I have only one tab left open, I get a blank page. If I have multiple tabs, then it opens with the tab and windows.
    I am running Windows 7 professional and Firefox 30. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.

    Please check your settings.
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''General.'''
    There are two settings;
    * '''When Firefox Starts'''
    When the browser is started, what page do you want to
    display. Many of us choose '''Show My Home Page.'''
    * '''Home Page'''
    When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
    # '''Use Current Page'''. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
    # '''Use Bookmark'''
    # '''Restore To Default.''' about:home shows a Mozilla page with tools.
    You can use any of these that you wish;
    '''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
    '''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
    '''about:blank''' (a blank page),
    or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: ''page''''' you want.

  • Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
    At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

  • Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?

    I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
    == For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"

    No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

  • Firefox 4b2 and Windows 7, multiple tabs shows up as windows in OS-taskbar

    I have been using Firefox on my Windows 7 based computer (Ultimate x64) and I didn't experience this when using v3.6 and earlier versions. But ever since I updated to v4 (beta 1 and now beta 2), I have noticed that when I have multiple tabs open in Firefox, it shows up as Windows in Windows 7-taskbar... If I hover the pointer over to, and place it above the Firefox Icon (or click it), a LOOOOOooonng list shows up with each tab.. But that wasn't the case when using v3.6 for example, instead, each window showed up, but the tabs didn't show until I opened the actual Firefox-window, and this is exactly how I would like it to be.. I have been searching with lights and without finding any answer/s, search the settings-tab and other locations where this feature might show up, but I can't seem to find it, Im completely out of ideas and I need your help.
    Best regards // Martin Johansson, Sweden
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I updated from v3.6 to v4 Beta 1, and now also with beta 2

    You need to change a hidden setting.
    Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter.
    Accept the warning dialog that appears.
    This brings up a list of preferences, in the filter box type '''taskbar'''
    Double-click on the preference called '''browser.taskbar.previews.enable''' to change its value to '''false'''

  • Are there any problems running Firefox 4 on Windows XP?

    I was unable to run a football match on VIPStand.net yesterday with Firefox 4 on Windows XP.

    I would not expect a problem under normal circumstances.
    Oracle's listener is set for a default port 1521 for database requests, port 8080 for HTMLDB requests. The database connections generally find an empty port above 1024 when establishing a connection.
    So, if IIS does not want to use 1521 or 8080, you will generally see no challenges. Even then it is fairly easy to move ORacle's port requirements elsewhere.
    Using port 8080 seems reasonably common, but that is easily changed - search for sethttpport in this forum. IIS tromping on 1521 would be rare as it has been a well known Oracle service port since, roughly, forever.

  • When setting up Firefox, I skipped adding on Plugins, how do I go back to do this?

    When I set up Firefox, it offered me the opportunity to set up plugins ones which I think I have using the other browser I was using-- Internet Explorer and I skipped doing it and I think I need them-- Java, Real Version, Windows, Google. Please tell me how to go back and install them now.

    Go to Tools> Add-ons to see your current Extensions and get more. Or, you can go to https://addons.mozilla.org/ to find more add-ons you may like, too.

  • Quicktime does not work in firefox 24 in windows 8 desktop mode

    I am running Firefox 24 on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit in desktop mode. I have QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 installed. But when I try to go http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/ and play trailers all I get is black box and nothing is playing. No prompting to authorize a plugin, no error message, nothing. I tried to see if it will work with other browsers, so I tried Google Chrome. I went to the website, got prompted to authorize the plugin and then was able to play trailers without any problems. The page won't even render correctly under IE. So, it makes me conclude that it is a browser problem. Can you help me please? Thanks.

    Is his in a normal tab or in a private tab?
    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    after updating firefox , it won't allow input of password on various sites - like my wordpress admin page. I can access this page from safari and from firefox on my windows pc.

    I cannot open password protected WordPress pages using Firefox. They open using IE
    If I remove the password protection the page opens correctly in FF.
    I have cleared the FF cache and cookies several times, No change

    NO GOOD

  • I'm getting popup notices that Firefox has a problem, and Windows is looking for a solution; then it closes Firefox and says Windows will let me know if it finds a solution. No crash report window comes up.

    Firefox is my default browser on my new laptop, with OS Windows 7. I've now had several instances where a Windows popup comes up saying Firefox has developed a problem and may have to close. It also indicates Windows "is looking for a solution to the problem." No solution is found, however, and Firefox is forced to close, with the happy notice that Windows will let me know if it finds a solution to the problem. If there is any tech data on the crash, I'm not sure where to find it, and no Firefox crash report window comes up. I thought it was an anomaly the first time, but this has now occurred at least 4 times in the past several days.

  • Names of downloaded files appear in Downloads Window only if that window is open during download. I run Firefox 4 on windows xp 32 bit sp3. I didn't have such problem with Firefox 3. Can somebody please help me?

    When I download a file with firefox 4 Downloads Window opens but downloading file name doesn't appear there. If I keep Downloads Window open further downloads appear in it but if i close it and reopen it again it appears blank, all downloaded file names are disappeared. I tried everything, unchecked "Remember download history" box and checked it again, deleted downloads.sqlite file, even created new profile but nothing helped.

    It is easy for me to explain things badly, and I can not see what you are actually doing, I will therfore try to list as steps to take.
    Please confirm that you have used firefox safe mode and still see the problem, by doing the following:
    # open firefox - use any profile
    # use '''Firefoxbutton -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled'''
    # you should now see an options dialogue with a list of check box options,
    #*you may get a confirmation option, if so accept it
    #* do you now see the listing of check boxes, with a continue button at the bottom
    #without making any changes, click the continue with safemode
    # firefox should now restart in safe-mode
    Now try the downloading, whilst we know you are in safe mode.
    # once a download has completed, use the option to open the containing folder that you see in your download manager
    ## does that option work ok,
    ## does it open a folder with downloads in it, make a note of the folders path/location/name
    ## do you see the downloaded file you just downloaded
    ## if so regardless of what the downloads folder says you have found the downloads
    ## close firefox and the folders with the downloads
    ## are you now able to reopen the 'containing' folder and find the downloads <br />( use Windows Explorer, not clicking on firefox, - firefox is closed)
    ## close the folder again
    ## open firefox, this time no need to be in safe mode
    ## look again for the containing folder whose name you noted down, does it still contain the downloads
    #'''IF''' you are getting problems now that you are in safe mode read the article about [[Unable to download or save files]]
    ## the article has several steps it suggests you try,
    ## please try all the steps in turn and report what happens with each step
