Hi,
I am trying to setup firefox to my liking automatically
To this end, I am using "firefox profile maker" and it works great but I'm having issues adding all the add-ons that I like.
Only the add-ons that are included in ffprofile make seem to install properly (but also, now I can't uninstall them ??)
Anyway here is my full process for installing firefox automatically and then configuring it automatically.
Perhaps you can hep me figure it out.
First I install firefox automatically using the offline installer (my computers do not have access to internet by default, I must whitelist each computer, then individual software then individual websites first)
So, I obtain the offline installer from this URL https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/111.0/win64/en-CA/Firefox%20Setup%20111.0.exe
Next I have used the website https://ffprofile.com/ to create a pre-made profile
This yields two files, and their contents
profile.zip
profile\prefs.js
profile\extensions\CanvasBlocker@kkapsner.de.xpi
profile\extensions\uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi
enterprise_policy.zip
defaults\pref\autoconfig.js
distribution\policies.json
firefox.cfg
Next, I have pre-downloaded added all the add-on files I would like to install to the add-on folder
However, when I perform the procedure, only canvas blocker and uBlock0 get installed
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
If I take all the add-on files, dump them all into firefox, it opens 16 tabs
On each tab I can now click add and click okay, if I do it right and quick enough, they all install, unless I miss one.
That's over 50 clicks and very annoying !
Here is the list of add-ons I'm trying to add
extensions\umibo-2.4.2.xpi
extensions\amp2html-2.1.0.xpi
extensions\close_tabs_right-1.2.4.xpi
extensions\cookie_autodelete-3.8.2.xpi
extensions\copy_tabs-1.12.35.xpi
extensions\darkreader-4.9.62.xpi
extensions\facebook_container-2.3.9.xpi
extensions\google_container-1.5.4.xpi
extensions\istilldontcareaboutcookies-1.1.1.xpi
extensions\merge_window-1.0.2.xpi
extensions\old_reddit_redirect-1.6.1.xpi
extensions\order_tabs_by_domain-0.2.3.xpi
extensions\privacy_badger17-2023.1.31.xpi
extensions\spoof_geolocation-0.1.1.xpi
extensions\tab_manager_plus_for_firefox-5.2.0.xpi
extensions\traduzir_paginas_web-9.6.1.xpi
I have created a script that I run after installing firefox using this command
"Firefox Setup 111.0.exe" /S
Then I run the following script to automatically install my pre-made profile
Firefox-deploy-ffprofile.bat
@echo off
set z7EXE=%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7z.exe
set EnterpriseConfig=firefox-profile\enterprise_policy.zip
