firefox restore to default


I would like to create a script that restores firefox to its default settings every time its started.

So if a user goes in changes a bunch of settings messes everything up then quits

Firefox will just load its defaults and be okay.

Any idea about how I would start to do this

I've tried just removing the profile in the uers directory but it doesn't seem to be working.

what are you deleting that isn't doing it? It's probably the .mozilla directory in the users home.
