Hi, so what is your point here. Yes those things get installed but you have what is called a Profile and all the changes you have made are saved in the Profile.

So please feel free to explain further.

Hi there. My point is that I want to install FireFox without the "MaintenanceService", but it is not possible, even when the documentation says it support's it. The "MaintenanceService" is installed "per machine" and not "per user" (profile). I can repackage the application myself, but it would save a lot of work, if the installer would behave as documented.

You should be able to choose custom install with these : https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/all/ and not install the Maintenance.

Tried that with both "English (US)" versions (x86 and x64). It does not work, the installer ignores all the command line parameters. INI-file option does not work either. I guess it is a bug, but I do not know how and where to "report a bug". . .

It's been a while since I installed it but the last time choose Custom Install and could install it on any drive as well there was a tick box to install or not install the Maintenance. No command lines where used.

Hi again. Yes, the "GUI" installer works, there I can chose "Custom Install" as you wrote, and deselect the Maintenance Service. Then it installs correctly, and this is what I want to achieve with a silent install. I need to do a Silent Install, with command line parameters or ini-file, neither works.

Thanks for the bug-report links, I will give them a try.

I just found out what was wrong, and here is the solution.

• The command line options do not work until version 62+ of Firefox, so until then, use the ini-file.
• The ini-file did not work for me, because I saved it with "UTF-8" encoding, it needs to be saved with "ANSI" encoding.
