firefox+thunderbird silent?

[ripken204]

i cant seem to find a way to silentyl install these. i searched the forum and there was an msi for download but it doesnt work anymore

For firefox, check out this post and utility, on these forums : Silence of the Foxes - it works great for me, use it all the time, and still works for 1.0.6.

as far as thunderbird, no idea sorry.

um you need to search a little harder, Firefox and Thunderbird both install silently with the -ms switch

Check out the uAwiki for a ton of switches, if you dont see the ones you want there please pm me or add them to the wiki yourselves!

i did try that switch and both firefox and thunderbird just went into an ininite loop of just starting the install but not installing it, there was over 100 processes worth of the install!

Another way is to use the portable version of the progs:

Portable Thunderbird

Portable Firefox

You can configure Firefox as you want, add the extensions and themes you need and then just make a copy or a zip file of the rep (Or just use it on an usb key)

Just the same for Thunderbird.
