@suse: "Hello,
I got on a Linux 9 server a larg number of users (more than 1000).
Some have startet Mozilla, some not yet. 
Is it possible to make Mozilla use a certain  http-Proxy- Server
automatically when it starts up ?
Frank"

I don't know much about proxies, but I'm pretty sure Linux is only at 
version 2.6.

   Hm. You mean RedHat v9 distro?
   Mozilla settings in Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Proxies are where 
you can set different proxies.

In Windows it's Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies. Is that 
panel not there in Linux version?

It sounds like he wants to modify the install so that it automatically 
has the information in it when it's first installed.  I think he's 
looking for something similar to the netscape CCK (I think that's what 
it was called)"

It should be easy to unpack the .xpi file, add the proxy setting to what 
would be the defaults/pref/all.js file, repack the file, and 
redistribute the installer w/ it.
There is two ways of changing the preference file. One is just inserting 
the proxy settings, but you won't be able to change it automatically 
later. Second is using autoconfig. You can find info on it at

when I change the lines
pref("network.proxy.http",                  "ip-numper");
pref("network.proxy.http_port",             port-number);
Theses values appear as well as in the allready installed mozilla as in
those users starting mozilla the first time. Only the values are not
"activated" :-(
is there no way to tell mozilla actually to USE these values ?"

I just checked.  When you turn proxy's on it sets
network.proxy.type to 1 (it was 0)
I did this by going to about:config and filtering proxy.  Then I went to 
edit->prefs and turned the proxy on and off and that is the value that 
changed.  So try setting
pref("network.proxy.type", 1);"
