I'm currently writing a documentation about setting up a special Server environment. To use this environment together with firefox it is required to change one property at the about:config window of firefox.
Our customers have big networks and they just can't do that for hundreds of computers in that network. I'm now looking for a solution to easily configure that property network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris which has to be completely idiot-proof. This property is related to Kerberos Authentication.
I thought of making a special installation package of firefox which already contains the property or to serve an Add-on or something like that. (Is there an easy way to do that?)
Or is there a more elegant way to setting up firefox to work properly with kerberos?
Any suggestions?
Setting a preference from an add-on is trivial assuming that you don't have to worry about anyone else setting it; you need the install.rdf of course and then you just need the default preferences file containing your preference.
Actually installing the add-on is probably most easily done by writing an installer that copies the add-on to a separate location (not under the Firefox installation) and then registers the add-on in the registry.
