That does look fine. So the one difference we have is that in /etc/firefox/prefs we put the 2 lines <div><div><br></div><div>pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);</div><div>pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>in a separate file we call local-settings.js, rather than within the firefox.js. I'm assuming everything in that folder gets read and this shouldn't make any difference, but it's the only difference I can see at this point.</div>

Thanks for the reply. I have user and group setup with
nobody:nogroup and 755 permissions. Is this wrong? How do
you have your permissions setup? Currently we don't have
it setup as a local app. Thanks for your help!<br>

I've been trying for a few days now to get
Firefox to cache pages to /tmp locally for all
users. I updated to Firefox 7, then edited the
firefox.js in /etc/firefox/pref to include these
lines -<br>
<br>
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
(supposed to tell FF not to worry about
byteshift)<br>
pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");<br>
<br>
I then took a customized firefox.cfg file and
placed it in /usr/lib/firefox-7.0.1.<br>

<div>This is what we do (to lock down network
settings and the like) and it works. The only
problems I can think of are permissions issues on
/usr/lib/firefox-7.0.1/firefox.cfg (can the user
read it?) and whether you have an error in the
JavaScript in the .cfg file? Then again this is
all run on the server for us (no local apps), are
you running Firefox as a local app?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For what it's worth, we found that many apps
and even the Gnome desktop itself didn't work that
well with nfs mounted home folders for the
students. We've since moved to having real local
folder on each of the LTSP server (we have
multiple load balanced) and we use csync (<a href="http://www.csync.org/" target="_blank">http://www.csync.org/</a>)
to synchronize those with the central file server
on login/logout and every 10 minutes they're
logged in. Performance went up dramatically and
the load on the file server is almost nothing.</div>
