Mozilla Firefox

If you want to manage the Mozilla Firefox browser for enterprise with VMware Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM), here is a good working template.

Recommended is to deploy the Firefox Extended Support Release, which can be found here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/enterprise/

This DEM config file will capture all important Firefox settings, but still maintain a relative small .ZIP archive. Although it could still grow, so keep an eye on the filesize.

I don't recommended enabling DirectFlex for this application, since the Export will always fail because of some strange behavior by Firefox.

How to implement:

Create a new DEM config file using the DEM management console and just copy-paste these lines:

===

[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla
HKCU\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org
HKCU\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins

[IncludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Mozilla

[ExcludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports
<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[MATCHALL]\crashes
<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[MATCHALL]\storage

[ExcludeFiles]
*.tmp
