[MacTUG] Firefox 4 woes

[Steve Hellyer]

Hi Dani,

Firefox doesn't use Mac OS X standard .plist XML style config file so I suspect you have edit it preferences to point to network directory. Sadly you will also not be able to manage the way you use .plist file in MCX (preference Manifests). Other changes might consider where cache files go.

Here the full list of preferences.

Of course getting these init preferences in to correct user home directory is challenging.

Sorry don't have any workarounds arounds for this. It it the nature of firefox preference design.  Also examine the permission on file as well.
