Locking Firefox Settings in a Lab Environment

(1/2) > >>

bedouin:
I'm administering a small group of machines running Windows 2000 and Firefox and needed a way to prevent people from changing the start page or proxy settings; surprisingly there's no extensions that can do this (that I found) though i did find this:

May be useful for someone else who administers a lab and has a no-IE policy as well (the IE settings are easy enough to lock down, though).

Aloone_Jonez:
Just out of interest how do you prevent them from using IE?

Jack2000:
i think he might delete
ie or lock down every page with the restriction thing
in the tools :)
and/or criple ie's exe

bedouin:
I took away user permissions to run IEXPLORER.EXE.  It doesn't stop someone from opening My Computer and typing a URL into the location bar, but it's good enough for most.

 XP-lite or Linux, both are trivial-enough solutions.  :)
