ebin25 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Install everything the way you want it in FF. Use SOF and create an sfx from %appdata%\Mozilla.EDIT: I am having problems with FF 2.0.0.1 and SOF. I am still using the sfx method.

ckislam Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 check for installed ExtensionsDoes anyone knows how to check if a certain extension for Firefox is already installed ?for example registry key, log file, etc.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gedrean Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Don't mean to bump up a sleeping topic, but this seems to work for fx2002 (it did for me). Now, I ALSO have my fx install to a different directory (and different start menu directory) by way of the configuration ini file. Details: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_ArgumentsIs there any way you can update SOF to include this functionality when launching the NSIS-based installer (setup.exe)?Because it would make SOF the best way to distribute all this! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g3brown Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) I created a batch file that extracts Firefox 2.0.0.4 and then creates a silent installer with 7zip which can include your bookmarks.html and settings from localstore.rdf, mimeTypes.rdf, and prefs.js.Just download sof2_2007-05-31.zip and extract the contents. Basic instructions in the included readme.txt.I tested this on Vista and Windows XP and everything seemed to work.Would like to get rid of the prompt to install the unsigned extensions, if anyone has any ideas.Edited on 2007-05-31: Updated for 2.0.0.4 Edited May 31, 2007 by g3brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uid0 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Sorry for the RapidShare, but board only allowed 200KB.Without bundling 7zip it would have been 2kb, and you could include the cmd file within CODE tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase4772 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Works a treat with 2.0.0.4 which is great but can a switch or setting be added to stop the bookmark importing prompt from coming up on first run?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
