[wpkg-users] Disable firefox/thunderbird update for non-admin users

[Holger Kröber]

Hi,

when a new version of firefox/thunderbird (ff/tb) is released, the users 
will be notified
very soon. Often there is not enough time to test and deploy the new 
version before the
users get the update notification. Since most users don´t have admin 
rights, this results in help desk calls.
How do you manage this in your environment? Do you use WPGK to copy a 
preconfigured
user.js or do you inject the settings directly into the prefs.js? Or do 
you use Group Policy Preferences?
I guess WPKG is designed for running in the security context of the 
computer (at startup), but in this case the user context would be 
preferable.
I would like to do the following:

  * running wpkg at logon (not startup)
  * pick the correct path to the ff/tb profile folder
    how? there might be one ore more profiles...maybe with a script: for
    each subfolder in rootfolder do...or by reading the profiles.ini...
  * disable auto updates via user.js or prefs.js (but only for non-admin
    users)
  * be happy ;)

Regards,
Holger
