[QUOTE][u]Quote by: jtoher[/u][p]The extension at http://www.curthread.org/download/systemproxy/systemproxy-0.5.xpi is installed in the user’s Profile, so it’s not as useful as a system wide machine preference. However, in the past I’ve found and modified those prefs.js files on the server using “find”:
And note the double quotes around “$i” every time you use it, since “$i” has a space in it (from Application Support). Much the safest option would be to use Safari on your restricted network instead, and I think that is the way I will jump on this one. 😕 [/p][/QUOTE]
I don’t know about just using Safari, and restricting people from using FireFox.
My reasoning being both ideological and technical. First off, there are some pages/web based apps that work better in one browser over the other. Second being ideological, open source software, software choice, user preference, and a whole slew of other less technical reasons.
Restricting browser choice because of Mozilla’s apparently glaring lack of attention in this area of FireFox seems a bit draconian to me.
There should be an option that someone could check in FireFox’s ProxyPrefs that has the browser follow the settings in Mac OS’s System Settings. Then we could work to propigate lock/op lock the setting.
Anyway, thank you everyone for suggestions so far.
