Build Active Directory support

Setting up Firefox

This is how to get Firefox to implement some of IE's generic group policies using the grouppolicy extension created by Michael Kaply.

Prerequisite

In order to build grouppolicy into your Firefox build, you must already have the tree checked out and a MOZCONFIG file available. You must also have IE7 because they add new policies that we are using in this example.

Steps

1. Change to directory to /mozilla/extensions
2. Issue the following command

   svn co svn://cdot.senecac.on.ca/ff-ad/trunk grouppolicy

3. In your MOZCONFIG file, add the following line :

   ac_add_options –enable-extensions=default,grouppolicy

4. Build firefox
5. Run Firefox
6. In the addons manager (Tools > Addons) you must see an addon named Group Policy Test 0.1

Setting up a group policy :

1. Start the group policy msc (Start Menu > Run. Enter gpedit.msc and hit Okay)
2. Get to the Internet Explorer configuration

   Internet Explorer

3. On the right, double-click on “Turn off tabbed browsing” and enable it.

Result

If you restart firefox, you should now be unable to open a new tab.
