Thank you

I downloaded version 1.0.2.7 which seems to be the latest. It is not installing the shortcuts correctly on x64 Windows 7. It is directing the shortcut to "C:\Program Files (x86) (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" instead of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox".

Thanks

The new website for FFaM went 'Live' today. Thanks go to Stefan Beer for his efforts in creating the page and doing all the heavy lifting to get it ready for use.

If, you have a moment, could I ask you to head over to Sourceforge and write a review or add a recommendation? It would help alot. Also, if you would check out the new website and click one of Social Networking buttons in the page footer. A little 'word of mouth' advertising would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I've spent the whole day making a full silent install of Firefox manually with preferences, addons and everything ... and i was about to give up because i couldn't find all the methods. So i'm very happy to have found your software which is absolutely wonderful and complete !

Thanks a million.

[Jonnyboy82]

Glad it's working!!

I am currently rewriting FFaM again. This time in WPF .NET 4.0. I am in the beginning stages of the layout. If, you would like to offer your suggestions as to the UI, please post them here or email me.

This is a tool that I learn with and learn from.

You can follow me on github.
