I didn't see anything about Firefox for the last couple of weeks, so I start a new thread for this wonderful browser.

The settings specified in firefox.cfg will be loaded as default settings. I show you mine, but you can store any firefox setting in this file and it will be the default setting.

The unattended method described below also works with Firefox 2.0.

In the script dir I have the following folders:

Defaults, contains files copied to the Profile directory (bookmarks file for example is places.sqlite)
Components, contains XPCOM components (xpt extension)
Addons, contains addons (xpi extension)
Plugins, contains any plugins (WMP firefox plugin)
Themes, contains any theme file (jar extension)

I have converted this batch script to inf. Also simplify a few steps and some fixes.

To install from runonce for example use the following code (no quotes around inf path!)

CODE
reg add "%Key%\080" /ve /d "Mozilla Firefox 3.0" /f
reg add "%Key%\080" /v "1" /d "rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %Installpath%\Mozilla Firefox\install.inf" /f


I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get any feedback about creating a unattended configurable Firefox 3.0 install script.

Your previous scripts works fine for me (with some changes like home page etc.). I will keep the first version. smile.gif

Thanks, but this new script works even better. Now script doesn't need AutoIt anymore and also removed additional batch files thumbup.gif

Sorry for what maybe a dumb question - Where do you get this information from?

Also i assume that
CODE
  [Strings]
  U_SHELL_FOLDERS_PERSONAL="%USERPROFILE%\Mijn documenten"


Is
CODE
"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents"

Felix, you can get these settings from the about:config window. I just included some config options I use, but you can modify it for your own needs.

I got the information from the following site: http://mit.edu/~firefox/www/maintainers/autoconfig.html

The variable U_SHELL_FOLDERS_PERSONAL should indeed point to the My documents folder.

I installed firefox from a batch file with this command:
CODE
rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection Install.inf, DefaultInstall

Nice and easy with all settings. Thanks Acheron thumbup.gif

Updated to Firefox 3.0.1. I have renamed the folder structure to add a Plugins folder to support installing the WMP for Firefox plugin.

After testing on my running system I see indeed any changes to all.js are overwritten. Also the UpdateInis method makes a mess of any js file when running the installation script multiple times, as no ini section was specified.

I have updated the first post with new instructions. The config file is now enabled by a separate js file _config.js.

Thanks it works for me.
You must correct this:

CODE
[DestinationDirs]
;Firefox install dir
Firefox.CopyFiles = 16422,"Mozilla Firefox"
GrePref.CopyFiles = 16422,"Mozilla Firefox\grepref"          ----------here


for this:

CODE
[DestinationDirs]
;Firefox install dir
Firefox.CopyFiles = 16422,"Mozilla Firefox"
GrePref.CopyFiles = 16422,"Mozilla Firefox\greprefs"            ----------for this


"s" at end.

You are right, fixed now. Well the script does look a bit complicated, once you have configured your settings it is very easy to maintain.

@Acheron
I didn't know that you could do it like this. Can you add anything from prefs.js to firefox.cfg? If so, you can configure almost
