Silence of the foxes© LaptoniC
----------------------------
Hi,as I promised I have coded this little utility in my spare time.It's a little utility which will unpack your original firefox setup add your extensions,themes,profiles etc and pack it again.Final file will be silent package.

I spent much more time on photoshop than on code, it may contain bugs so easy on me.As you may see from the graphics, I suck at photoshop .Anyway, hope it works for you.Before doing anything be sure to read readme file carefully.

Best Regards
LaptoniC

GREAT program. i'm just now working on making my setup.

one issue, i cant find the file that it is generating. anywhere. i searched my whole computer and i cant find firefoxsilent.exe anywhere.

It's called app.7z and is in the same folder as the original installer.

edit= oh, and awesome app

@Swimming_Bird:
firefoxsilent.exe is produced where you run sof.exe.I didnt put error checking when creating files if your problems continue PM and I will send you debug version.Also I have tested this program only on Windows XP SP2 no other windows version is granted to work

Edit:Yes there was a bug.I wasnt clearing the buffer when executing 7za process.I corrected and fixed first post.Please download it again.

Awesome program

Excellent Program.

Care on making it for Thunderbird too?

First I have to find slogan for it

"Silence of the birds?"

I really didnt used thunderbird before and dont know whereit keeps its settings how to install themes,extensions so if you provide this details and I can try to help but my time is limited no rush ok

Well, if your refering to %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox for Firefox, it's %AppData%\Thunderbird for Thunderbird. The installer folder is %ProgramFiles\Mozilla Thunderbird. All the rest is same as Firefox.

But Firefox is more important

OK.I will install thunderbird and try it tomorrow.Hope it works.

still having issues, i'll PM you.

Thanks LaptoniC, also looking forward to your Thunderbird silent install.

Very nice program! I will try it. But wait, I noticed that the installer will be a 7zip sfx. So there's no uninstaller, right?

this is just a packager that will repackage the original installer then run it. it seems incredibly similar to simon's but more easily configured and with a GUI.

Found another bug If you choose original firefox setup from other directory than sof.exe resides, it gives error.Hope it is fixed now.Download links also fixed on the first post.

Thanks LaptoniC for your effort, it is a program very useful.

i was wondering about some of the prefs.js options that i couldnt find in http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs


first of all i was wondering what was the pref to make it ask where to download the file every time?
