Upgrade Storagehow to bring customized preferences with local prefs.js or zotero.js in version 7.09
Hello,
Please, i need your help as I am creating PowerShell scripts to install Zotero on multiple computers automatically.
The problem I am encountering is that I can no longer include user preference files with the Zotero installation that will be applied to profiles when the application is launched.
This mechanism worked with version 6.0.16.
During the installation, I placed two files (prefs.js and zotero.zs) in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Zotero\defaults\preferences. When a user launched Zotero, they automatically had my preferences in their profile folders (appdata…).

Today, with version 7.0.9, this no longer works. I have tried various solutions found on your forum without success, and I need some clarifications:
Is this mechanism still possible with version 7 ?
For examples to block updates:
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
user_pref("app.update.silent", true);
Or to prevent the window from opening in the browser on the first launch:
user_pref("extensions.zotero.firstRun.skipFirefoxProfileAccessCheck", true);
user_pref("extensions.zotero.firstRun2", false);
or other parameters
Could you please tell me:
- Which preference files to use
- In which folder and location to place them
Thank you in advance for your expertise.
Best regards.
