Mozilla Firefox

Hi,

We seem to be having issues with Firefox version 65.0.2 (64bit) on a non persistant instant clone pool with writable (UIA only). Firefox is published in an appstack and DirectFlex is enabled. We have UEM setup to

[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla.org
HKCU\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins
[IncludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
[ExcludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports
[ExcludeFiles]
*.tmp

To be able to run Firefox the second time the user log on we had to add "reverse_replicate_file" and pointed it to firefox.exe in the snapvol.cfg on the writable. The problem now is that Firefox always start by creating a new user profile for the user even if DirecFlex is ran. There is no difference if I disable the writable (still new profile - new folder under Firefox\Profiles directory).

Hi

Please try to use the below config for Firefox. There seems to be no issue with AppVol UIA. I was also facing issues in capturing personalization for Firefox and finally resolved it.

[IncludeRegistryTrees]

HKCU\Software\Mozilla

HKCU\Software\mozilla.org

HKCU\Software\MozillaPlugins

[IncludeFolderTrees]

<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox

[ExcludeFolderTrees]

<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports

<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[MATCHALL]\crashes

<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[MATCHALL]\storage

Regards

Hussain
