How can I globally enable a set off Add-ons for all users, having already installed them globally. They currently all appear as "Disabled".
I have installed Firefox 26 for Windows. I then installed some add-ons for all users by copying the XPI files into the \mozilla firefox\browser\extensions folder. For the user that I installed them under they are enabled. When I then log out and back in as any other user they show as disabled.
I have played around with various settings in my .js files and I cant get anything to work.
Why do you make the global installation of add-ons so difficult? Surely for enterprise deployment this is a required configuration.
I am also unable to set my homepage in the same way despite following many articles on this forum.

At startup, Firefox will check this registry key for externally installed extensions:
(64-bit Windows)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions
However, in recent versions of Firefox, the user may need to approve extensions to run when discovered this way...
For the home page, were you creating the mozilla.cfg file? I don't know why that would be limited to a particular user.
