Firefox GPO Restrictions

[Lafosse, Ricardo]

Hello all,

I am working on restricting user options in Firefox via GPO; however all
the Firefox ADM templates that I have utilized have not worked. These
templates include: wetdog, firefoxadm (from sourceforge), and firefoxadm
(from frontmotion). The users are using Firefox 2.0.0.16. Any
experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated.

You might know this, but you can write your own template. That way it
will suit your requirements perfectly.

I have used the FrontMotion Firefox Community Edition modify settings
via GPO.  Are you installing the "FrontMotion Firefox Community Edition"
customized version from their website?  That distribution of Firefox has
the ability to lockdown settings through Active Directory using
Administrative Templates.
