How to modify the Firefox homepage in LiveCD for every new user?

Question

I have made a custom Ubuntu LiveCD with UCK. How do I modify Firefox's homepage?

Answer 1

I've newer tried to use uck, but I would try the following:

The skeleton-directory for the ubuntu user is

/etc/skel

so create the folder:

/etc/skel/.mozilla/firefox/

in this folder create a file "profiles.ini" with content:

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=a.default

Now add a folder

/etc/skel/.mozilla/firefox/a.default/

In this folder create a file named user.js with content:

//
// user.js: Personal prefs which mozilla shouldn't overwrite.
//

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk");

Edit /etc/firefox/syspref.js and add:

pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://example.com/");

This will probably only affect profiles which have not modified the homepage on their own though.
