== A file to enable the system wide configuration ==
 +
 
 +
To enable the system wide configuration, we set <tt>general.config.filename</tt> in a <tt>.js</tt> file under <tt>"%ProgramFiles%\<Mozilla Product>\defaults\pref\"</tt>:
 +
 
 +
my-load-config.js:
 +
<source lang="javascript">
 +
// -*- java -*-
 +
// put this file in "%ProgramFiles%\<Mozilla Product>\defaults\pref\"
 +
// Load my-config.cfg
 +
pref("general.config.filename", "my-config.cfg");
 +
</source>
 +
 
 +
== The configuration file ==
 +
 
 +
The configuration file is cyphered with [[Wikipedia:Rot13]], you can find a perl script [http://alain.knaff.lu/howto/MozillaCustomization/moz-byteshift.pl moz-byteshift.pl] to cypher the configuration.
 +
 
 +
Thunderbird is configure with <tt>general.config.obscure_value</tt> to 0, so no cyphering is required.

A file to enable the system wide configuration

To enable the system wide configuration, we set general.config.filename in a .js file under "%ProgramFiles%\<Mozilla Product>\defaults\pref\":

my-load-config.js: 

// -*- java -*-
// put this file in "%ProgramFiles%\<Mozilla Product>\defaults\pref\"
// Load my-config.cfg
pref("general.config.filename", "my-config.cfg");

The configuration file

The configuration file is cyphered with Wikipedia:Rot13, you can find a perl script moz-byteshift.pl to cypher the configuration.

Thunderbird is configure with general.config.obscure_value to 0, so no cyphering is required. 

// -*- java -*-

// Firefox 3.5 autoconfiguration
// Works with 3.0 except for bookmarks

// // put this configuration in a file called mozilla.cfg in mozilla
