Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting want file to regenerate after deletion Post 302354482 by glev2005 on Friday 18th of September 2009 09:33:40 AM

I am using a link. This file is a userChrome.css file within a user's firefox profile that is configured to disable/remove the network settings button so that users arent changing their proxy settings. The problem is sometimes the users' firefox profile gets corrupted and we trash it. When firefox starts up after that, it creates a new profile, minus the userChrome.css file which is custom. I was hoping I could use a linked userchrome file in their profile, and if it was deleted, to have it somehow regenerate from the destination linked file. basically a link that when broken, fixes itself.
