I'm primarily interested in changing the Firefox proxy settings with scpm. One way to do this is to have a script make the appropriate changes to the prefs.js. The global proxy is set in sysconfig which is changed by scpm. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

I don't know, which SUSE you use, but on 9.1 Firefox 1.0.8 DOESN'T know the system's proxy settings. Why you fight with scpm, if you have possibility to make profiles under Firefox itself, e.g. via "firefox -ProfileManager". I used to setup at least two profiles there, one direct and another with proxy. When you wish to start Firefox, you could do it e.g. by firefox -P default firefox -P proxymoxy Regards, Pelibali:) -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

In Firefox Preferences/General/Connection Settings, use "System Setting". This will cause Firefox to use /etc/sysconfig/proxy. Then in the Profile Manager, you would simply need to edit the resource Group, "Basic Network Settings" and enable /etc/sysconfig/proxy.
This works great, at least for Firefox and for Konqueror. in my case I have 5 different profiles that I use for different places. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
