You can use an autoconfig <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig> file in the firefox-esr install directory in the template to control everything except default search, which mozilla has added a bunch of protections to in order to prevent default search page hijacking. You can use this to disable "first run" welcome tabs, etc. You probably also want to put privacy/hardening settings in the autoconfig file.

To change the default search page you actually need two mechanisms: 1. Reverse engineer the way the firefox-esr directory configures default search. 2. Reverse engineer the way the profile directory configures default search.

Hi Emma,

Thanks for pointing autoconfig, it may simplify my setup.

Have you tried to use /usr/share/firefox-esr/distribution/policies.json to setup the search engine and your addons ?
It is indeed more powerful than a user.js

I have not yet used it for the search-engines part but there is an entry here if you follow the link to the docs.

For the addons part is a bit tricky to get the corrects addons ID,
