CONTEXT

  • I have recently assigned to restructure a corporate network that contains about 100 client computers.
  • There is an active directory domain (2003 functional level) for the whole network.
  • The user uses two browsers: IE and Firefox

I have to switch from normal proxy (configured on each machine) to transparent proxy so i have to remove proxy settings from IE and Firefox (I have already implemented the GPO for IE with no problem)

PROBLEM

I want to use GPO or similar to disable proxy in firefox, i looked up on google but with no luck

OPPORTUNITY

The company is located in a single site so the amministrative effort to implement the solution must be less than change directly the settings on each computer.

Thank you in advance

MozillaGPO project provides mozilla autoconfig.js module that allow managing mozilla software wia Group Policy.

It has advantages over FirefoxADM:

  • module update preferences from policy every hour (and not only when the user logs on).
  • there is no problem when Firefox is running before the configuration script
  • suitable for Thunderbird too.
