Mozzilla Firefox - Do not use PLUGINs

[wolferl]

How to create a custom group policy for Mozzilla Firefox so the following will occur? I was thinking of using a "COMBOBOX", yet I am unsure of the proper format?

Ensure the following extensions are not automatically opened by Firefox without user confirmation. Do not use plugins and add-ons to open these files. Use the "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" preference to set and lock the following extensions so that an external application rather than an add-on or plugin will not be used. (PDF, FDF, XFDF, LSL, LSO, LSS, IQY, RQY, XLK, XLS, XLT, POT PPS, PPT, DOS, DOT, WKS, BAT, PS, EPS, WCH, WCM, WB1, WB3, RTF)

have you looked at using the Frontmotion Firefox community edition?

It's a customized version of Firefox with the ability to lockdown settings through Active Directory using Administrative Templates.

Jeff,

First thank you for your reply. I have looked at and did initiate group policy via active directory from the forum.

However this is not one of the settings and I was thinking I would need to create a combobox to address this requirement. I am unsure how to create a combo box?

The problem is.. even if you create your own ADM file for FF, it's not going to work.

FF uses .js files to store data.. not the registry.

Regular ADM files cannot punch into .js files.

Not to tip my hand, but I am working toward an active solution to this problem (coming soon.)

Jeremy,

Thanks for the insight as everything I am finding on the web mentions the .js file. I hope someday soon to take your course as I see my job would be enhanced with the additional knowledge. I hope you place what you discover and share with all of us.
