Post subject:  Firefox Default Settings

I am currently editing the all.js in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs to modify Firefox settings. If I make changes to settings like the proxy then when a new users logs on their settings are pulled from this.

So for example by changing:

pref("network.proxy.type", 0);
to
pref("network.proxy.type", 1);

When a new profile is created the default Firefox option for the proxy is set to manual rather than the default auto setting.

I've also modified C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\firefox.js to force Firefox not check if it is the default browser

(I hope that makes sense and I've explained it well enough)

My question though is this; does anyone know where - or even if there is - something you can edit to

1) set the homepage?
2) stop Firefox asking on first start if you want to import from Internet Explorer?

Cheers.

Update:

Found this in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\firefox.js

pref("browser.startup.page", 1);
pref("browser.startup.homepage", "resource:/browserconfig.properties");

Which points to a file in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox called browserconfig.properties. I can edit this file to set the homepage.

Now I just need to find out how to disable the 'first run' stuff such as importing from IE and the Firefox first run page.

Sorted it.

You can disable the import wizard by creating a file called override.ini in the program file directory with the text:

[XRE]
EnableProfileMigrator=false

and the unwanted tabs were disabled by creating a user.js and prefs.js in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile with the text

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore"); in user.js

and

pref("startup.homepage_override_url", "ignore");
pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "ignore"); in prefs.js

Phew!
