The Simple method of Firefox Unattended deployment


Recommended Posts

this thread is a bit long, but I've found a nice way to deploy extensions to the user profile, I may make an official patch to send to mozilla developer, the job is done by hooking extension manager.

just apply attached patch to nsExtensionManager.js, then you

can run start /wait firefox -install-global-extension "unattended://ext1|ext2|ext3|etc" using standard windows

path, don't care about the cmdline it will install in the user profile, a real patch would be add another cmdline to the apprunner, but right now I re-use install-global-extension since it's passed to the extensionmanager js script, so I don't need to recompile firefox.

Hope it will be usefull

Hi,

The link to the Simple-FFDeploy.rar isnt working anymore.

For some reason the normal FFDeploy.exe isnt working for me.

It just makes a zip of nearly 2GB before it makes the exe and took more than 3 hours and still wasent finished with making the sfx. I have a feeling that is not now it is meant to work.

So, I stumbled upon this thread, but the file link isnt working, so i cannot give it a go.

links updated :D - Hasn't been tested for a while (latest version of FF) - let me know if there are any issues and we will try to sort them out.
