Support for implementing firefox in an enterprise

I am a tech coordinator for a private school, with about 200 desktops (mostly WinXP, some MacOSX), and I would like to standardize on Firefox browser.
But I need some group-policy-like controls so that I can disseminate preference-settings (like proxies and pop-up blocker exceptions, etc) to all machines, and auto-update settings.
Any suggestions?

Novell's ZEN and response files
Fixed certs for Firefox 36 using Novell, not sure how they did this but was fixed for the next version. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042889 1042889]
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042889#c8 comment 8 specifically]

Try it in beta.
Otherwise an alternative to a silent install from the commandline is -ms and check out the recommendations for deploying in an enterprise environment in MDN: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment]

Support for Mozilla/Firefox record & playback

I was just wondering if e-Tester supports recording and playback of test scripts in Mozilla/Firefox? I know the embedded browser in the application is based on IE.
I know that the documentation mentions something about support for Netscape, so I was wondering how that worked and if that can be extended to the Mozilla family of browsers.
Thanks...

Right now e-test only uses IE and IE7 only on 8.2 ....word on the street is that FF support is coming before the end of the year but nothing official yet....
The netscape option is carry over from the 'ole days you can see it on one of the last options in the tree for the script (options>script) ...guess it's hard to let go of the past..
Now in E-load I understand you can emulate Mozilla browsers for your load scripts but at the thin client level it wont tell you much more then what IE would see...(application independent of course)...
Hope this helps

Java CAPS - Support for browsers Firefox/Mozilla

Please provide support for other browsers (Firefox,Mozilla) for installation (and usage) of Sun Java CAPS. In the Step 2 of the installation, when must supply the path to the eGate.sar, we get the following Java script error with Firefox:
Error: document.getElementById("LicenseSubmitButton") has no properties
Source File: http://localhost:12000/eManager/protected/admin/display/DisplayPage.jsp
Line: 416

Also when documentation is installed in the Java CAPS repository, we can't see-it with FireFox on linux. Some ActiveX code is being called from javascript:
// Load XML
var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
....Again support for other browsers will be appreciated.

Support for kde activities in firefox

I've just started making use of activities in kde but prefer firefox over the kde browsers. One thing missing though is proper suppoert for firefox profiles so I've put togeter a quick bash script and a .desktop file to take care of it.
Before you use it make sure that:
1)you only have one firefox profile named "xxxxxxxx.default" in your ~/.mozilla/firefox/ folder. There's no mechanism for handling more than one yet (maybe in the future)
2) you've enabled/conigured firfox sync- tick all boxes required *except* tabs- that would defeat the purpose.
Put this script somewhere in your path (mines at /usr/bin/) and make it executable
# Compatability for Firefox and kde 4.x's activities.
ACTIVITY=$(qdbus org.kde.kactivitymanagerd /ActivityManager CurrentActivity)
FF_FOLDER=$"$HOME/.mozilla/firefox"
DEF_PROF=$"$FF_FOLDER/????????.default"
NEW_PROF=$"$FF_FOLDER/????????.$ACTIVITY"
if [ -d $FF_FOLDER/????????.$ACTIVITY ];
then
firefox -no-remote -P $ACTIVITY
else
firefox -createprofile $ACTIVITY
cp -a $DEF_PROF/* $NEW_PROF/
cd $NEW_PROF
rm sessionstore.*
cd ~
firefox -no-remote -P $ACTIVITY &
fi
exit
and a .desktop to /usr/share/applications/kde/firefoxkde.desktop

Well, there's too much more (like the desktop widgets) than what I'm going to explain here and there are articles that explain better than me.
Stock KDE has always let you save your applications when you close your session or shutdown the computer. The "set of applications" that were opened is called session. So... KDE when you boot again tries to open your opened applications at the same desktop where they were opened and with the same files that were open.
You can for sure exclude or force the load of some of these applications at login, but that's for another thread.
The thing is that you sometimes have a set of applications (and files opened) geared towards an specific activity. You might choose you to put them into a single desktop. That's great at the beginning but when you have too many activity-related-applications it's cumbersome. Too much applications opened at the same time. Or too many times changing the number or name of the virtual desktops.
So... If there were an specific way of saving a session of only the activity-specific-applications? So... that these applications just opened in a virtual desktop just for them?
Well... X11 Desktops were not powerful enough and Kde people invented another dimension on the work management called activities.
So basically when you stop an activity you just save the session (set of applications opened and its opened files) of that activity,not of all of your programs as before. When you start an activity (either manually or automatically because it was already opened when you closed your desktop session) all the saved session is restored.
The trick is that applications need to be activity-aware when it comes to save session, restore session and have not surprises as having all the windows of a given application in the same one activity or desktop. So... most of KDE applications are or will be activity-aware.
While the Mozilla people (or the people that make the mozilla-qt integration) decide to implement activity support for Firefox we need a workaround. And it seems this is a quite pretty one. It could be improved with hard links in order not to waste so much space with repeated profiles but I'm not quite sure it would work.
About deleting unused profiles technononsense explains my script exceptions that avoids accidental loose of information. I cannot live without deleting unused profiles because I use temporal activities a lot.

Due to your lack of support for freedom of speech and religion, I will no longer be using Firefox or any of your products.

Interesting that you fired Eich under the guise of equality and freedom of speech. I think you will find that many feel the way that I do.

Discussion about Brendan Eich, who recently resigned as Mozilla CEO, is off-topic for the Mozilla support forum. See [[Forum rules and guidelines]]:
* Posts in the Mozilla support forum must be either questions about the use of Firefox, Firefox for Android, Firefox OS, Thunderbird, Webmaker or answers to those questions. Users who post about things other than Mozilla support will be directed to an alternative discussion place (ex: mozillaZine) if appropriate.
The [https://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#governance mozilla.governance] forum would be a better place for any further discussion about this topic. The Google Groups link is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mozilla.governance
I'll close this thread.

Dropping support for Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox 20.x or below

Starting April 30th, we will discontinue support for all Internet Explorer 8 versions and all Firefox 20 versions and below. In order to continue using Business Catalyst Admin user interface without problems, you and your clients need to upgrade to a more recent browser:
Download Internet Explorer
Download Safari
Download Chrome
Download Firefox

Thanks for your reply Shay.
We plan to officially support IE8 with the next patch release to JDeveloper 11g - currently planned for later this year.That matches what I wrote in my initial post in this forum thread about IE8 support.
We usually only certify browsers after they officially go production.That does not really answer my question (q1) in this forum thread.
It is more like, how can I assess that Oracle will support any successor(s) of IE8 or successor(s) of any currently supported browsers for ADF 11g applications in the future? How long will Oracle support "commonly used browsers" for an ADF 11g application I build today, so how long will I be able to use that application?
How do I answer such questions for ADF 11g applications that should be deployed on the internet (where, as some extranet environments, you typically have not that much (or no) control over which browsers your users use ... although some would like to argue with that, see forum thread "ADF Faces RC browser support and browser market share")?
(By the way, do you have any feedback for the forum thread "ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8"?)

Firefox dropping support for optgroups?

It seems that Firefox 4 has dropped support for <optgroup> elements? Why would such a great web development browser do this? Also, the box model has changed with this release.
Not good guys.

Plugin are installed outside the control of Firefox and Firefox usually scan specific registry keys to find a specific plugin.
As long as MS makes a Silverlight plugin available for Firefox then you can use Silverlight in Firefox.

FireFox support for ERecruitment

Does anyone have a document on browser support for ERC?
I tried Firefox, but am getting a BSP error.

Hi Sunil,
the browser support is not defined by the application but by the Support Package Stack of your Netweaver.
Please take a look at service.sap.com/pam.
Within the product avaialbility matrix (its a powerpoint) you will see, which technology (e.g Web Dynpro or BSP) is supported by which browser, if you have a specific basis support package.
For example Firefox 3.0+ and IE6.0 plus are supported for display of BSP and Web Dynpro if you have Netweaver 7.0
Best regards
Sebastian

Clustering support for BEA Weblogic Enterprise for Solaris/SUN HA

          Hi,
          Does BEA WLE 5.0.1/5.1 support SUN's SunCluster 2.X HA Framework for the Sun
          Enterprise set of Hardware?
          If not - do you plan to provide support for it in any future releases?
          Thanks and regards

Look for WLS 10.3 under Oracle rather than BEA group.

Will FireFox 5 have support for websockets?

I was just wondering if Firefox 5 will have support for websockets enabled or will it continue to be disabled like in Firefox 4?

As stated on the bottom of the page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/WebSockets, it's disabled in Firefox 4 and 5 because of a security problem, but will be enabled by default on Firefox 6

Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.
