<p>I'm installing Firefox, then copying the following policies.json
into the \program files\mozilla firefox\distribution folder but
some of the time the settings take and sometimes they don't. <br>
</p>
<p>Some of the computers I'm putting Firefox on already had Firefox
and I'm doing an uninstall then reinstall, and on others it's a
fresh install.<br>
</p>
<p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
<p>{<br>
"policies": {<br>
"DisableBuiltinPDFViewer": true,<br>
"DisplayBookmarksToolbar": true,<br>
"DisplayMenuBar": true,<br>
"DontCheckDefaultBrowser": false,<br>
"FlashPlugin": {<br>
"Default": true<br>
},<br>
"NetworkPrediction": true,<br>
"Proxy": {<br>
"AutoLogin": true,<br>
"Mode": "none",<br>
"SOCKSVersion": 4,<br>
"UseHTTPProxyForAllProtocols": true,<br>
"UseProxyForDNS": false<br>
},<br>
"SearchEngines": {<br>
"Default": "Google",<br>
"PreventInstalls": true<br>
}<br>
}<br>
}</p>
<p>Things that work randomly:</p>
<p> "DisplayBookmarksToolbar": true,<br>
"DisplayMenuBar": true</p>
<p> These two work some of the time (I'd say about 70%). The
rest of the time, I get none or one of the toolbars.</p>
<p> I'm not sure if the other settings hold 100% of the time,
because I can't check every install, but the toolbars are obvious.<br>
</p>
<p>BTW, the line "DontCheckDefaultBrowser": false has the
opposite affect. If I include this line, then Firefox never asks
if it should be the default, and if I don't include it, it asks
about 80% of the time.</p>
<p>Any advice would be appreciated.<br>
