SiMoNsAyS Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Can anyone get the -install-global-extension command line arg working in FF 1.0? Doesn't seem to be working. Only way I can get it to work is by drag n drop. I've read the other threads, and prefer this method.you're not using updated extensions, that's why they aren't installed on ff 1.0 -install-global-profile works perfect for me, i'm just working on a review of my guide using this method.

sleepnmojo Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 you're not using updated extensions, that's why they aren't installed on ff 1.0 -install-global-profile works perfect for me, i'm just working on a review of my guide using this method.That's not the problem. I don't have any problems with a drag and drop. The only extension that didn't work with 1.0, I removed.Do you have a profile created before you run the command? Thats the only thing I can come up with.Also wanted to mention that it brings up the import wizard when running the command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Seems the problem isn't with extensions, but plugins packed in xpi files. I guess the only way for me to add these is to use the firefox setup, and include my extension xpi files. Still don't see why it doesn't have a command line to install plugins.

anandus Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Okay then....Let's forget the FOR loops and do it the normal way:REG ADD %KEY%\050 /v 2 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %DVDROM%\Applications\Firefox\xpi\file1-name.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\050 /v 3 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %DVDROM%\Applications\Firefox\xpi\file2-name.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\050 /v 4 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %DVDROM%\Applications\Firefox\xpi\file3-name.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\050 /v 5 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %DVDROM%\Applications\Firefox\xpi\file4-name.xpi" /fIt will still be fast enough. Just that it will take a few seconds more to type it in for all of the plug-ins. (and note that in the above example, the .XPI's should be renamed if they have spaces in the filename)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've tried to install Firefox extensions this way, but it won't work Is it a syntax error or something different altogether?Here is a part from my RunOnceEx.cmd:REG ADD %KEY%\070 /VE /D "Firefox" /fREG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "%PP%\FF\FF.exe -ms" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /VE /D "Firefox Extensions" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 1 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\1.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 2 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\2.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 3 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\3.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 4 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\4.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 5 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\5.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 6 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\6.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 7 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\7.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 8 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\8.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 9 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\9.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 10 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\10.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 11 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\11.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 12 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\12.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 13 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\13.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 14 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\14.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 15 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\15.xpi" /fREG ADD %KEY%\071 /v 16 /d "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe\" -install-global-extension %PP%\Install\FF\XPI\16.xpi" /fIt should work like this, shouldn't it?

sleepnmojo Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 1) install firefox2) create profile3) install extensionsThsts how I do it.This is my syntax for creating the profile. "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe" -CreateProfile default "%USERPROFILE%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"Then my batch file to install extensions. PUSHD %~dp0 FOR %%I IN (*.XPI) DO ( START /WAIT "" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%%~fI" )POPD I recommend the START /WAIT option so you know all extensions get installed before the next.
