For Firefox in newly added user profiles, I have a few modest preconfiguration goals: 1) Customize the toolbar to add Print, History, and Tab Groups. 2) Set new tabs to display a blank page.

I would think that #1 might be accomplished either by setting
pref("browser.uiCustomization.state", "{long string copied from my user profile pref}");

or else by copying my initial user's xulstore.json to /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/profile or /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile. (Or by doing setting the pref AND copying xulstore.json.)

But to zero in on setting the prefs: I failed first with what I took to be the standard Firefox methods.

Then I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FirefoxOptimize, and though it was written for *buntu 12.04, I'm assuming that it's probably still valid for 14.04. (I'm running Lubuntu 14.04.1 32-bit.) And it indicates that global/system prefs should be placed in /etc/xul-ext/ubufox.js. But my prefs seem to be either ignored or subsequently overridden/overwritten.

(And yes, xul-ext-ubufox is indeed installed.)

How do you successfully do these things in 14.04?
