Comment 194 for bug 233901

    Yeah, I'll be happy to show my configuration again.
    Jehan, instead of using all-redhat.js I created a new file (Firefox is smart enough to read every js file in /usr/lib<64>/firefox-3.0/defaults/preferences/) called vendor.js.

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0/defaults/preferences/vendor.js:
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "dw-config.cfg");

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0/dw-config.cfg:
//point to the autoconfig directory on the web server
lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url", "http://proxyconfig/autoconfig/");

and finally, the link you described above:

/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0/defaults/autoconfig --> /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9/defaults/autoconfig

    I found that if the 'lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url","<your_url>")' line is the first line in the dw-config.cfg file, it gave me errors. That comment line eliminated the error. (?)

    dw-config-cfg points to a general directory, rather than a specific file, because I use the same two files for Mozilla, Thunderbird and Firefox: that directory contains an index.cgi that determines the software being used with $ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'} and then points to the appropriate autoconfig file.

    Hope that helps.
