I’m setting up a computer with linux mint debian editon, and the computer is going to be used by a lot of people who sign in via AD. I have custom display settings (background, pinned applications, theme, custom menu icon) that I would like to apply to all users, but right now they only show up when I log into the account that I set it up on.
Also, is there a way to get a custom firefox esr config to apply to all users as well? I want to remove pocket and make duckduckgo the default browser.
Many thanks.

/etc/skel and the pam_mkhomedir.so module should get you going in the right direction. Never used it but know it exists
For Firefox, I believe the way you’d usually want to do this is with Policies: …mozilla.org/…/enforcing-policies-firefox-enterpr…
Side-note: Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, so you might not need to adjust that config.
I’m not sure, how they handle disabling it in browsers, but given that the backend has already been turned off, presumably they would disable it even on ESR with some update…
