jondercik Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thank you. I tried that and in order to install the extension it opens up firefox and asks me if I want to install it. I am trying to do this silently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapagan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thank you. I tried that and in order to install the extension it opens up firefox and asks me if I want to install it. I am trying to do this silently.I guess that is a security issue, you dont really want extensions to install without notice, who knows what spyware and other crap that websites would install otherwise.If you are after this to use on an uA CD/DVD however, search the forums for 'Silence of the foxes' which will give you a single silent unattended installer for firefox that has all your extensions automatically installed on first use.SP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimming_Bird Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 my only issue with this method is that it installs it globally which freaks out some of the extensions.but i cant think or find any other way yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotC Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) /edit: delete - my suggestion was globally, too :-( Edited January 13, 2006 by WotC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptMurphy Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Can't you specify to install it in the default profile of firefox in the Application Folder? Since I don't think the new firefox is using profiles anymore. Or else my install is messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjhart85 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Works for me using profiles. Works perfectly. I still use the SIMONSAYS method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
