User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

I want to update of Firefox from internal network as update server. I created directory structure on server site and changed app.update.url on client site that doing about:config. Overall I also tested to change parameters values in updates.xml. I think to Firefox doesn't care app.update.url parameter.

Have any suggestion what could I do serving updates from internal site.
Client version, Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

Best Regards.

Reproducible: Always

Firefox doesn't pay attention to changes made to app.update.url in about:config, because they apply to the profile. Some software update settings, like the update url and channel, must be global so that using multiple profiles don't cause problems.

You need to change the definition of app.update.url in <firefox install dir>\defaults\pref\firefox.js instead.

Actually, all you should have to do is create a new string pref named app.update.url.override and set this to the path you'll be using for the update.xml file.

Hi,

I solved the problem. Follow the below steps;

- On the client site, edit firefox.js
- app.update.site parameter as the http protocol not https
- because if your root certificate haven't in browser doesn't complete updates.

I think, developers will be fix it.

Best regards.
