Tiny warning about active setup: it is not officially supported windows
feature, so it can disappear at some point without warning. Unlikely
soon (too many programs use it) but possible, especially now that W10
changes features in every major upgrades.

Hi Dirk,
I assume you are in a Windows environment. Maybe you want to take a look at
"ActiveSetup" and how to use this. ActiveSetup build into Windows and is not
Firefox related. We use this often to prepopulate usersettings stored at %appdata%,
%localappdata% or HKCU. Effectively all you have to do is setup three RegKeys.
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\FF-Settings" /ve /f /d
"FF-Settings"
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\FF-Settings" /v "StubPath"
/f /d "<FF-Folder>\doSomething.cmd"
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\FF-Settings" /v
"Version" /f /d "1,0"
It doesn't need to be a cmd file.
If this is suitable for you and you have more questions don't hesitate and ask
your questions. (Maybe not with the list involved)
Mit freundlichem Gruß

Betreff: [Mozilla Enterprise] Create Profiles at first firefox run
Hi,
we use Firefox with 3 profiles.
One profile with default settings is usable for Internet, the other
profiles use special (different) proxy settings to connect to special
environments.
So with installing firefox I can customize some general settings, like
trust root certificates as example.
The profile will be created at first FF run.
I can copy a folder with all three profiles and settings to the users
appData-structure, but I can do this after first login, not at os
rollout. So I have to do this manually, because the "runonce" is not
working stable. And a generalized profile folder at a diffent structure,
maybe "C:\ff-profiles" does not work because of individual settings per
user. And every user can use some needed extensions at user base too.
Is there a way I don't see to simplify the rollout of all profiles /
settings to the user accounts?
Ah, hint: not all machines are included in a domain, some machines need
to be separated from a domain.
Suggestions welcome
Dirk
