Also if you just waited in the background, you would see that these would occur as well. These of course would also occur at logon. If we go to our target machine and run “gpupdate,” we’re getting the latest, greatest Group Policy settings. We’ll go ahead and click “OK” here, and we’re going to dictate those settings. You can see that for most websites it’s not set, but for Facebook we’re specifically saying “block” for the “camera” and the “microphone.” Some of the other items here are “install,” “pointerLock” and “desktop-notification.” There’s also geo that helps with tagging and so on. But for now, you can see for instance maybe I want to block using “Use the Camera” and block “Use the Microphone.” We have a little table in the Help and Read Me files to help you with that. In fact, if we go back and take a look real quick, if we go back to “about:permissions” here, you can see that those settings are here and they correspond. You can see we’ve got “camera,” “microphone,” “install,” “pointerLock” and “desktop-notification.” These correspond to the elements we saw on that page. I’ll just use Facebook as the example here. There are these other permissions as well. You just go through, give it a name, comma, “popup,” comma, “allow” (“, popup, allow”). Let’s go ahead and say on we want popup, allow. But if they have anything at all, MODE=REPLACE says, “Smash down,” replacing whatever they have with whatever we put right here. If they do, we’ll go ahead and leave them there. You can either use “MODE=REPLACE” or “MODE=MERGE.” MODE=MERGE says, “We don’t care if the user has settings. If we dive down into “Permissions,” we give you a little template. If you go to “New/Application” and we pick “PolicyPak for Mozilla Firefox 23.0,” it’s really 23.0 and later. I happen to be doing this for my East Sales Users. Like I said, once again you could do it on the computer side or the user side.
DISABLE FIREFOX DOWNLOAD POPUP WINDOWS
I’ll call this “Manage pop up windows for firefox and permissions using policypak.” Here under “East Sales Users,” we’ll go into “Create a GPO in this domain, and link it here.” You can do this for either users or computers. I’ll go ahead and close this out, and I’ll go over to our Group Policy Management Console. There are also a bunch of permissions you can get to if you go to “about:permissions.” The idea is that there are a bunch of permissions here that you can dictate per website, and that’s what we’re going to do right now. If you go to “Options” here and we take a look at “Block pop-up windows,” we’re going to manage the “Exception” to the pop-up windows.
