That forum is decent when it runs.  But I think they are struggling with
some things right now.  There is not a lot of info out there for running
it on a terminal server but there usually never is.

hmm.. the other thing to try would be the mozillazine forums
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38 but they seem to be
somewhat dead right now..

Not many other options it looks like..

Then it must be a bug.  I tried changing that line right off the bat and
all it did is make the homepage blank.  The update.app.enabled already
looks to be false.

I managed to kind of get around this.  The import settings from IE
imports the home page but because mine was set to a file share and not a
true url, it got butchered and did not work so well.  I altered my GPO
for the IE homepage to resolve to a proper URL and now when the settings
import, it works.

I still need to figure something out for new users though. It's a great
browser.  All my users are on it as of this morning.

ive not tried it, but looking around, it seems thats the file you want..
I'd also hazard a guess that its the line:
pref("browser.startup.homepage",
"chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties");
that you want to change :)

I'd assume that any new profiles that get created will then use this as
their basis..
If you're using 0.9 or above, then you'll also want to disable:
pref("update.app.enabled", true);
otherwise your users will get update alerts telling them to install a
new version! :)

OK, you guys convinced me.  I am not rolling out Firefox on all my
terminal servers.

The only thing holding me up is figuring out how to set the homepage to
a common default.

I found the firefox.js file but I am not sure if it is the right file
and if it is, how to make the change.

Have any of you that are running this had any luck with it?

Greg
