First of all, I would just like to say that a GPO for Firefox Add-On is a brilliant idea. I had intended on building my own, if one was not already built/being built.
I'm curious about the status of this project. The reason for the inquiry is because there doesn't appear to be any source code available, and the Add-On simply does not do… anything…
I've installed the add-on (Of course), and setup the included administrative template. As a test, I decided to configure the home page, so I set it to "http://www.google.com". However, upon closing and reopening Firefox, that preference was not modified. I also tested several other preferences, same results. The registry settings are being written correctly, so it appears to be an issue with the internal workings of the add-on.
I'd appreciate any help you could give me on this matter. Also, if there is any source code available, where might I find it?
Thank you,
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello, there was a bug in my addon that prevent it to work correctly unless you add set settings for all types of preferences, machine, user, locked, unlocked.
I have corrected this in last version of the extension 0.7
Regarding source code the .xpi file is only a zip, so you can unzip this to see the code.
inside the unzipped extension you will find a content folder. inside this there is a .jar file. This is another zipped file. If you unzip this you will find the extension real source code.
