    Hello, Stuart Fox (DSL AK)!

    >>> Can the Firefox settings be controlled centrally?
    >> Yes, and more flexible than IE versions zoo at user computers.
    >> Download a Firefox ZIP (not Firefox_Setup_1.0.exe but Firefox
    >> 1.0.zip), unpack it to R/O share on file server, edit JS
    >> configuration files in .\defaults\pref and .\greprefs, then create
    >> a shortcut to firefox.exe on user desktops. To change FF settings,
    >> edit JS configs again. Voila!
    > Can the executable reside on the workstation with the settings stored

    In my case, executable doesn't recide on workstation, it's placed on
    network file server. There are only shortcut to
    \\server\firefox\firefox.exe and user profile data on workstations.
