MindSlap Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hi all... This is my first post (Tho I've been lurking for a while.) I poked around trying to find something to change Firefox's proxy settings. No dice. Its need to remotely change the setting. (I'm figuring on running this on all workstations via SMS) So..I figured I'd give it a whack myself. This is my first script..so please dont beat me when you see how ugly it is. This seems to work just fine...with requirements. You have to have FF 3.6 because 3.6 includes the option for USE SYSTEM PROXY SETTINGS" (This works out nicely because I can set the proxy via GPO, and simply have FF go by that setting) I'm tossing this up because: 1) Get a few eyeballs on it. Get some suggestions how to improve it, if any. 2) Did I miss any considerations regarding the FF prefs.js file and how FF handles it. 3) It may be useful for others. expandcollapse popup; ; Firefox Proxy Changer Ver 1.2 ; ; ; JVS March 2010 ; ; Requires Firefox 3.6 or higher, and Firefox.exe MUST be installed in its default directory C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox ; #Include <File.au3> #Include <Array.au3> Dim $validprefsdirs[10] Dim $PrefStrings, $AllPrefsFiles GLOBAL $elementcount, $validprefsdirs, $profdir, $stringtochange, $stringchangeto, $FlagForFileWrite Global $filelist, $Rsearch, $Searchroot, $linecount global $RecusiveSearchResults, $FFversion ;Begin this ugly thing msgbox (0, "FIREFOX PROXY CONFIGURATION", "This Operation will Configure your FireFox Proxy Settings for use within xxxx's Network." & @lf & @lf & "Before the Changes are Made, a Conditional Check will Be Perfomed.

MindSlap Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) I guess I can't edit my own posts... But this needs an update. There was a bug when ripping thru the array.
