Firefox 3.0 has just been released

http://pv-mirror01.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla...x/releases/3.0/

Now I need to figure out how to do a customized silent install.
Maybe the -ms switch will still work.

Yes same switch for silent install does work.

Anyone know if theres been any changes that do US (as in application repackers/whatever we are) a favour?

I've just posted instructions for installing Firefox silently here.

FF3 rocks. Except for the totally non-awesome bar. It's not awesome at all...

For those who like to deploy easily, or that think about repacking, usually there's no need. FrontMotion keeps their free MSI installers here. There's no FF3 MSI installers yet, but it's just been released a handful of hours ago. They should have the new ones online soon.

Edit: They are now online

One thing I noticed is that it defaults to be preferred browser now, it didn't do that before

do this after firefox install

That's fantastic Crahak, I had no clue about this!

add this addon to firefox: http://f22.aaa.livedoor.jp/~ptdb/firefox/theme.html.
it adds a new tab button to the right of the last tab just like in ie7.

i was solely using ie7 because this tab was so useful. now after i found this add-on, i've switched to firefox.

Why use a button? You're gonna be typing an URL anyways, just do CTRL-T.
Some people use gestures for that too.

why not just use: start /wait "Firefox SETUP" "Firefox3.0.exe -ms -ira" in a batch file?

100% ACK

Or.... just double-click on free place right after last tab - open a new tab too.


Why use extensions for functions that already integreated in FF?

OK - it depends on the user, who uses FF. Advanced users don't need this - noobs are happy with more buttons and extensions *gg*

Well what do you know... I just tried this on Opera and it works there too.

Amazing... and offtopic, I know .

wow - a self proclaimed advanced user!

i already know about the double-clicking. it's good to have options, buddy. i'm glad you're NOT programming software - it would have two options - on and off.

Nice  Actually I use that extension (with New Tab button).

i'd love to know how to make customized builds (pre-installed parameters, themes & extensions) like we can do for FF1 & FF2 using SOF (silence of the fox)

do you know if there's an updated way to do things like that ?

Hi, I already wrote such a script, look here for information. I have converted the batch script to an advanced inf and improved it a bit.

@Acheron:

ow, i didn't see your post
thanks a lot for your .inf file, i'll make a test tomorrow.

I knew about the -ms for a silent default installation of Firefox. But what does the -ira do? I don't see that documented anywhere. Is it used to keep the Irish away?

It tells it not to launch the app after installing it iirc.
