Hello,

Rather than redeploying Firefox, I would suggest creating a package to update the mozilla.cfg configuration file.
For example: package name: mozilla-settings-wapt
Package dependency (optional): firefox

Copy the mozilla.cfg file to the programfiles\mozilla firefox directory.
First, check for the presence of Firefox: if Firefox is not present, install the browser.

Good morning,

Well, I'm still stuck on my problem; I still can't figure out what's wrong. Can you tell me more about creating a package just for the update?
Thanks in advance.

Create a package that copies and pastes your file into your Program Files directory, and add the Firefox package as a dependency. If you have questions about the syntax, refer to the provided documentation; otherwise, we can provide you with an example.

Hello and thank you

Actually, I really don't understand what the problem is. I'm happy to use your example, but I think there's an error every time I create a package...

Actually, what I told you is completely absurd because your base Firefox package already copies your mozilla.cfg file to Program Files with the following line: `
filecopyto("mozilla.cfg",makepath(programfiles32,"Mozilla Firefox"))`.

But nothing prevents you from creating a test package that does the same thing and see if it works (you never know, computers can be magical sometimes ^^).

Your setup.py file will look like this: `

from setuphelpers import *
uninstallkey = []
filecopyto("mozilla.cfg",makepath(programfiles32,"Mozilla Firefox"))`.

And your control file will look like this

: `package: mozz_cfg
version: 0.0.1-0
architecture: all
section: base
priority: optional
maintainer: nobody
description: Copy of mozilla.cfg`.

Well, I don't really believe it.
Now I think about it, the homepage might be defined in the agent profiles (something to look into).
Or, another thing to try that seems pretty good before even creating a new package is to modify your mozilla.cfg file like this:
//one to clear the preference
clearPref("browser.startup.homepage");
clearPref("startup.homepage_welcome_url");

or
//the other to lock the preference (the user cannot change it)
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=https://www.google.fr");
lockPref("startup.homepage_welcome_url","http://www.google.fr");

Hello and thank you everyone!

It's finally working! Like an idiot, I only tested it on a test VM which was clearly faulty! That was the problem. I can now publish Firefox with the changes OK in mozilla.cfg.

All that's left is to see if there's a way to set Firefox as the default browser in the preferences.
