Software Deployment

Creating msi for firefox used to be simple. But things have changed from i believe 13.0.1. So this is what I have come up with this.

channel-prefs.js is also edited  which is present in the default/pref in the installation directory by adding these four lines of code.

pref("extensions.update.enabled", true);

pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);

pref("browser.search.update", false);

pref("extensions.enabledAddons", true);

Add the Mozilla.cfg file and the application.ini file in the install directory and also add the local-settings.js file in the defaults\prefs folder for setting the preferences. 

There are plenty of posts about how to configure/install Firefox in the Deployment Tips section of this site:http://www.itninja.com/software/mozilla/firefox-2/18-85

One of the links on a post related is the one below - which should contain the informaiton you need.

Hope that helps,

Put the the file profiles.ini in %APPDA%\Mozilla\Firefox with the following lines:

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/firefox.default

Subsequently put he file user.js in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\firefox.default with the lines:

# Mozilla User Preferences

/* Do not edit this file.
 *
 * If you make changes to this file while the application is running,
 * the changes will be overwritten when the application exits.
 *
 * To make a manual change to preferences, you can visit the URL about:config
 */

user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
user_pref("app.update.service.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.search.update", false);

This should do the trick.
