    7AM here, and I'm already looking for answers! Maybe they're hidden behind my coffee mug...

    ANYWAY, I would like to set a few of our workstations browser's (Mozilla Firefox - varying versions in the 1.5 release) so that the user does not have access to the options dialog, specifically, the connection settings section. Can anyone advise on how this is done? Looking for an option similar to the group policy that disables options in Internet Explorer...

    Thanks for any input!

    This is a great site Mada, but with regards to FF I have found this link to their forums which can be found in Bookmarks and here http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php?c=4 to be the best source of info on FF. Hey these guys deal with FF issue's only, and they have never let me down.
    Hope that Helps

    No problem. Sometimes, just sometimes, us Firefox geeks, on MajorGeeks, can pull stuff outta our magical hat, instead of hitting the forums on Firefox. ;)

    Just wanted to add, that that extension does not work for me, since I'm on FF3.0a, even with NTT (Nightly tester tools). :(

    I'm also sure you read through this:

    Ha! I kinda figured that you or Greenknight would be able to do that!

    Again, thank you... I'm SO going to make a custom installer for CGL!
