IGEL Weekly: How to Restrict Firefox to a List of Designated URLs?

One of my favorite parts about the IGEL Community and any community is people helping people. Someone asks a question, maybe not even relating to IGEL itself but an associated technology. Many fine folks jump in to give their suggestions. Recently I saw just this in the IGEL Community, and the solution is so fantastic and helpful; I wanted to share it with all of you!

Joseph Masone, asked the question:

"Aside from modifying hosts files, is there a way to allow only a list of URLs we designate via the Firefox browser? We tried setting up a local HTTP proxy. However, that can be bypassed by simply typing HTTPS in the URL. We also tried restricting all the navigation menus/toolbars; however, one of the sites we need to allow access to has links that can leverage to access other unwanted sites."

More and more of our IGEL customers want to facilitate work from anywhere.

In the office they were familiar with using #IGELOS driven devices. By providing end users with notebooks running IGEL OS or UD Pocket(IGEL on a stick) user can safely and easily connect to their virtual workplace.

The management backend (UMS) is managing these devices in the local network. connect to ICG and the management backend connects to ICG and the devices can be managed as if they were local.

If you're ICG is installed and configured well you can now manage you're devices outside the office. Deploy and update profiles, support users with shadow functionality. One important part that has to be configured separately is the distribution of IGEL OS firmware and Custom Partitions (Additional Software running on the IGEL OS like MS Teams and Zoom)

For this you need to point you're devices to a remote https/sftp location. Please read here how
