deploy profiles

Hello everyone,
is there a package that allows me to quickly modify Windows user profiles?
Let me explain: I'd like a package that copies the contents of a Firefox profile to all Windows users on the machine.
Basically, I want to copy the Mozilla/Firefox profile from the package and paste it into C:\Users\firstname.lastname\Apps\Roaming. But I want to do this for all registered users on the machine.

Note that I have an additional constraint: I'd like to exclude certain users.

Sincerely,
Romain

Hello,

Without having to copy the entire Windows profile, you can copy only the part you're interested in to each user's folder using session_setup().

Even simpler, look at the contents of the tis-firefox-esr; it contains files that define default preferences that the user cannot override (mozilla.cfg and local-settings.js). You can also add extensions that must be installed, etc.

The Firefox documentation is helpful on this topic: https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/Firefo ... Enterprise.

To exclude certain users, filtering can be done via the session_setup()

Happy deploying!

Alexandre

Thank you for the quick response and patience. I just saw the setup_session in the documentation.
Thanks again for your help.
