In your Firefox profile directory, there's a file called "prefs.js". Of course, that (obviously) requires you have a FF profile, so I'm not sure how much use it would be.
I guess the "easier" way would be to just disconnect your internet, and then install and start Firefox.
- 5ilv3r 11y agoSounds like an option for domain administrators... not users. That's a bummer.
- syrrim 11y agoIf you start firefox with the `-P` option, then it lets you manually create a profile, before starting. I assume you could configure it at that point.
- dmckeon 11y agoAlternately, before starting Firefox: echo 'user_pref("media.gmp-gmpopenh264.autoupdatemedia.gmp-gmpopenh264.enabled", false);' >> user.js Preferences set in the user.js file are applied after those in prefs.js, but are persistent - while the current prefs settings are saved to prefs.js when Firefox exits, the prefs in user.js are re-applied on every restart of Firefox - so you would have to edit user.js to persistently change Firefox' behavior. Thus user.js is handy for knowledgeable users, but could be a bit of a trap for less capable users. ("I can't make it change!") While I'm on about:config stuff, a handy way to search for config variables is a shortcut: <DT><A HREF="about:config?filter=%s" SHORTCUTURL="ac">[ac] about:config filter</A> invoked by putting, say, ac media.gmp in the address bar.
