[Mozilla Enterprise] Backing up bookmarks

Mon Feb 11 16:03:36 UTC 2019

>From looking at the  policy templates on github https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates
It looks like you could redirect the bookmarks folder to fall in the users "Documents Folder"  during it's creation, but there is not a policy that will move an already created bookmarks folder to the same site?

Hi all,

I'm looking into this again as a recent Windows Update has removed support for redirecting the AppData folder in Windows 10.

I see that it's possible to get it to back up to a different location by
setting:

browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
browser.bookmarks.file

(and possibly browser.bookmarks.overwrite)

appropriately, but I don't see a way to do this in group policy. Is it not present or am I missing it somewhere?

Dan

Are you referring to this:

?

Kind regards

These are invalid.

These values should not be there at all if you are not setting them, otherwise they should be set to a list of addon IDs.

Yes. I haven't done a full-scale deployment yet, and had tried redirect AppData in one OU to be able to backup bookmarks. Firefox does not make it easy (like IE) where you can specify in a GPO where the bookmarks should reside. You can redirect the entire profile (including temp folders I think) but that is overkill.

Now that Microsoft removed the ability to redirect AppData to a server share I'm looking for another way. I was hoping to stay GPO-only and not mix GPO and autoconfig. As far as I can tell everything I need is in GPO except for that.

Done @ https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/issues/331

Thanks Mike.

Hopefully it was descriptive enough. Titled "GPO Wish List: Bookmark backup redirection"
