viriiman Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 (Two more I just though of)1) Quicktime and Real alternative support (if possible. If not, understandable)2) Flash support (Allows flash to silent install OR already be installed (wihtin the firefox dirs) when Firefoxsilent.exe runs)
LaptoniC Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 @Swimming_Bird:I want word peace prefs.js compiler is really out of scope.You can make your prefs.js with firefox.@viriiman1) To be able to set firefox as the default browser automaticallyThere is a prefs.js option so firefox will ask you to set default browser on first run.Because many of us dont set firefox as default browser2) a slightly clearer guide packaged w/ sof on where you need to put plugins, themes, etc.Ok.3-4) Quicktime and Real alternative,flash support (if possible. If not, understandable)I guess you are missing the point, any file in your plugins directory(Quicktime,realtime,flash etc) will be copied after you install it.So, whatever you setup on your current firefox installation it will be copied to your silet firefox setup.

I really wish i knew how to program (although i tired to learn and hate programming). the best thing about it is how professional it looks.if anyone can post a link to somewhere that has all the prefs.js parameters with descriptions i would bow down before ye.EDIT: Hell this deserves its own in the Member Contributed Projects
LaptoniC Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 if you type about:config at adress bar you can see how big it is http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:...:config_Entries
anandus Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Okay, so to make sure, I need to:* choose where the installer package is and unzip* put extension-XPI's in \extensions\* put theme-JARs in \themes\* create a prefs.js somehow* repackIs this correct?How can I create this prefs.js? Or can this just be an empty file?Do I need to have Firefox already installed on my computer or can I use a clean computer?
Nanaki Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 It's in your Firefox-profile.Go to "C:\Documents and settings\YOUR NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\ProfilesRANDONNAME.It's there.
bonedaddy Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 @anandushere's what worked for me.......have these ready;firefox 1.02bookmarkssoffiretune (optional)clean install w\o firefox installed1 install firefox, donot install agent or what ever....2 install all extensions and themes3 close firefox (do not restart firefox yet)4 go to "C:\Documents and settings\YOUR NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\ProfilesRANDONNAME\extensons\temp and move the xpi files to your extensions folder in sof. long folders and all, then one folder up are the jar's move them to themes folder in sof.5 restart firefox and configure away, import bookmarks ect. get it the way you want...... 6. then I ran firetune, optomizes firefox for the speed you need...........7. run SOF........The above method worked fine for me the more expierenced here shouldshed more light on it for us........thanks for a great toolBD
anandus Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 But do I get a clean install? Or a copy of my (quite messy) install of Firefox, which I have on my computer now?
eben Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 u get a clean install (except for ur prefs.js)dont try to post once u update it
Swimming_Bird Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 oh, will it grab extensions from a current firefox install? or d you have to place the xpi files in the extensions directory?
LaptoniC Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 You have to use *original* setup files of extensions and themes.For extensions,Go to firefox extension site(Tools/Extension Get More Extensions)downlaod your extensions but do not install it you can download it by save as option.Put .xpi file to your project\extensions directory.Theme stuff is same.You cant grab xpi and jar files from your current firefox once they are installed they got deleted.
Swimming_Bird Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 thats what i did. i just wasnt sure if you were even able to pull out the extracted themes.
w00blyn Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 when i try running the silent install, i get a 7zip error: system can't find file specified. am i missing something for firefox or am i missing a 7zip file somewhere?
blinkdt Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 @Laptonic Really, really nice app, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
