How to create silent installation with custom selections in the setup install for a localized firefox installation
Hi,
So I need to create a silent installation package for the full firefox installation that is found here for Windows -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/?q=English%20(US)
I need to be able to select custom settings in the installation just as I would with the User Interface ( select the radio button options)
Can you help me achieve this the easiest way possible?
Thanks

hello, you can disable the import wizard by putting an override.ini file with this content into the firefox %INSTALLPATH%\browser\:
[XRE] EnableProfileMigrator=false
in order to preconfigure certain firefox settings, use the method described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences. to disable the default browser promt and check for updates, put this into the .cfg file mentioned there:
//
lockPref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);

hi, please refer to the documentation at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments
Yes I have already seen that page. Thank you. But I still need a way to get rid of the Import Wizard with a selection of "Don't Import Anything" and remove the Default Browser, as well as disable all automatic updates in the settings. How can I do this programmatically for my silent installation?

Thank you very much. I was wondering if you could help me with one more thing. I need to be able to silently uninstall Firefox as well. I have tried utilizing the /S switch with the installer executable however it doesn't seem to do anything and the browser remains installed.
does %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe /S work? ...sorry i'm no expert in uninstalling firefox ;-)
Yes it did! Thanks very much for all your help.
