Chosen solution

unfortunately i have no experience with batch files whatsoever so i cannot judge if everything is setup correctly.

from what it appears, the install firefox.bat file is unnecessary (just leave it out), since the installation is already triggered (silently) in your mozilla installation commands.cmd. you don't need to rename the installer, it is already addressed correctly in the latter file. just put it into the same folder as the other files...

what is missing yet, is the setting of firefox as default browser on the system. therefore the command

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -setDefaultBrowser

would have to be added near the end of the script.

hello austinpinto, you can run the installer with the command line argument -ms in order to run it silently: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments

how this can be integrated into a windows install disk probably goes beyond the capacities of the firefox support forums here though. you'd probably be better of consulting a forum specialising in windows or software deployment...

Note that the Firefox beta versions get an update about once every week.

Also be aware that Firefox 22 will be released officially later this week (likely this Tuesday), so no need to install the beta version.

hello, i taught this was already covered in the original link. download the current setup file & run it with the -ms parameter appended in order to perform a silent install without any further interaction:

Firefox Setup 22.0.exe -ms

in case you want to set it as your system's default browser, you can run the following command after the installation has completed:

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -setDefaultBrowser
