Ahha, that wasn't caught by 3 people. Thanks mike! As for the search engines, what kind of code are we talking about? If I just understood what needed to be accomplished I may be able to just do the coding.
Just based on what I see, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\omni.ja" is a container for these (among other) settings/files. I opened it up with 7zip hoping that I could just delete the target .xml files out of the package, but that didn't work out. -Tim From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kaply Consulting Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 7:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SPAM-Keyword] - Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox 45ESR - deployment Where are you adding user_pref? That style doesn't work in Autoconfig. pref() is for user prefs. defaultPref() is for default prefs.

Those 2 lines are what gets added to the config when I interactively disable pocket. This is with a vanilla 45ESR install.

In 45, the way Pocket and Search Engines have been implemented is different. I've made a variety of attempts to disable Pocket and remove all except google.com and bing.com from the search engine list but have not been successful. With 38ESR we were able to simply use userChrome.css to remove Pocket with a few lines, and remove the search engine .xml files and be done. How can this be handled with Firefox 45ESR? You can set the preference pocket.enabled to false and it will disable pocket. Removing search engines will require some code unfortunately. It was done this way to prevent search hijacking.
