Tech Tips for BHSEC Students

The user.js preference files for Firefox for Windows and Mac are not the same, one being that the Mac script is quite different from the Windows script.

Windows Firefox script:
user_pref("security.warn_entering_secure", false);
user_pref("security.warn_leaving_secure", false);
user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure", false);
user_pref("security.warn_viewing_mixed", false);
user_pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "http://proxy.nycboe.org//proxy.pac");
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 2);

Mac Firefox script (Mac Firefox doesn’t have a user.js file, so you have to create one):
user_pref("security.warn_entering_secure", false);
user_pref("security.warn_leaving_secure", false);
user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure", false);
user_pref("security.warn_viewing_mixed", false);
user_pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "http://proxy.nycboe.org/proxy.pac");
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 2);
