Hello all,

First, i would like to know how to make a silent installer of firefox 2.0.0.11 for nlite. I know it is ready here on this forum but i would like to have the french version. I know how to make an addon for nlite, but i am juste seaérching for the switches to make it silent.

And as i come not for nothing, i would like to know how to make some addons, i use regularly, included to firefox and (maybe) ready at the first start.
Thank you for your answers smile.gif

Maybe if there are some people interessting in doing it, here is what i would like :
- Firefox in French
- Addons included
- adblock plus
- download statusbar
- dictionnaire myspell en français (1990)
- webmail notifier
- Customizegoogle
- Maybe some themes but it is not a priority

It would be great maybe for the challenge to have it with flashplayer, shockwave and others codecs for videos and music smile.gif

Extract setup.exe and the sub folders from the FirefoxSetup.exe
Then add your extensions, search plugins and themes to the subdirs
Create a 7zip sfx using the setup.exe /S

Example addon with Flash, WGA, OGA, WMP plugins etc

Ho, yes ! That Lokks a bit easy and incredible smile.gif
For my extensions, do i have to take them directly in my directories on my pc, or do i have to download them ? If it's a dl, where can i find the good files to put ?

For flash, and shockwave, is it the same ?

Then when it is done, i make a winrar sfx archive that should make a .exe, and then i make a .cab of the .exe for nlite using /S that's right ?

For your extensions you can find and add them in the following locaions

"%UserProfile%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default\extensions" copy them to-> "nonlocalized\extensions"

For plugins like WGA and Shockwave you use a program like InstallWatch and you track what files were added to the "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" and "components" sub folders... Then you copy them to the folders of your installer

"nonlocalized\plugins" & "nonlocalized\components"

Same thing with Bookmarks.html and search plugins

OK, so here is what i made and i have problems with extensions

I use winrar to...
- extract the firefox.exe, and i have the good directories,
- Download with right-clic my addons, on the official webpage of firefox. I have .xpi
- Extract .xpi with winrar and i have another subdirectories like chrome, and other files and folders.
- I put this extracted files and folders of the xpi in the directorie nonlocalized/extensions
- I put and overwrite bookmarks.html

I take again files and folders of firefox (including the extensions and bookmarks)
I Make a sfx archive with the process "setup.exe" /S after extraction

Te FF.exe is done
i run my FF.exe /s and firefox install correctly and all in silence
BUT
No addons are installed, even if i have my bookmarks ready

Is there something i missed ? Do i have to put .xpi instead of the decompress xpi in the directorie nonlocalized/extensions ?

I think we are nearly done, but what's the problem please ? newwink.gif

Don't extract the xpi just install them and copy the installed extension folders
