There was no Profile folder in the Firefox dir and it was because there was a file named profile (no extension, just 'profile') and when I tryed to create the folder Profile manualy I got the error of the same name as profile (file). After removing profile file from Project\Firefox I created the folder and after clicking 'Copy my files', prefs.js bookmarks.html and mimeTypes.rdf were copied. I'm wondering what's wrong with the profile file, the content was:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</RDF:RDF>

I removed this file in order to create Profile folder.
Now everything seems to work corectly.

And one more question: I always disable bookmark toolbar in View menu but this option is not included in copied files. What files do I have to copy to include View settings?

Cheers

The Forecastfox extension won't work with this program. I think it probably has something to do with the extension popping up a dialog box the first time you open Firefox after installing it. Whenever I open Firefox after using the silent installer with Forecastfox in it I get the attached error message and I have to go past it twice every time I open Firefox. It wasn't much fun uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to figure this out but now I know. I've got my core extensions so it should be a problem for me in the future. I just wanted to warn anyone else who might come upon this problem.

If I'd been smarter I would have just removed extensions from within Firefox until I found the offending one but I suppose hindsight is 20/20

So yes, If you install an extension that does something like this removing it in Firefox will fix the problem.

Is it possible to include the dll that solves the "connection timed out" bug with an amd dualcore processor?

[QKnet]

inside the installer (thunderbird) there are two xpi files, namely talkback.xpi (some 2MB) and xpcom.xpi (smaller i think). I'd like to know about their roles. Are there any problems if I just take them out of the installer to get smaller size?

Hi thanks for the great app.

I am having a problem getting my themes and extensions to reinstall. I am copying the raw files that I have DL'd via a rick click save as. The theme is a .jar file and the extensions are .xpi.

I have put them in the theme and extensions folders under project/

I noticed in the readme that it says to enter [projectid] I have no clue where to get this, and I assume that is why it isnt working for me?

Thanks for reading

[LaptoniC]

@Seveneleven
projectid is either ThunderBird or Firefox or anything you defined in the ini file inside the brackets.

@LaptoniC: Please read this post of mine.

Thanks for the quick reply, its strange because I dont see others having the same problem as me but I just cant seem to get my extension and themes to come with the package. I am using Fasterfox, Noscript, Adblock, Adblock filterset, and the brushed theme.

I am unpacking firefox and transfering my raw install files to the correct dirs and it just doesnt seem to move with the package. I also have left the .ini file at its defaults.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Is there any way to create unattended Firefox using command lines? Just like CDImage? I think it would be great, so you dont`t have to click every time you create it. It reads everithing from ini and then create unattended Firefox.
If this is not implemented in current version, could you make it work with command lines?
Anyway, this application is great as it is, but with command lines would be the best.
Thank you.

Thx for the fast reply.
I already have an autoit script for SOF , but it doesen`t look professional opening windows and pressing buttons.
But, thats it. No command lines

Hey LaptoniC, your little proggie is great! Lovely work!

I'd want to suggest a minor enhancement: add an option to set the compression level of 7zip, as with the present setting it eats _too_ RAM .

Is it possible to bypass the 7zip compression and, for example, create a WinRAR SFX archive? What to launch after files extraction?

Thanks and best regards
Venator

[LaptoniC]

The switch for 7zip is the same as original firefox setup.You can change swtichs by hex editing the file.If you want to make WinRAR SFX,I run install.exe when extraction ends.

Hi!
I transfered today succesfully my Thunderbird to a new computer.
I copied the themes, extensions, and a customized userChrome.css file.
The only change that I made in the data.ini is add the "chrome" and "extensions" words to the ProfileFiles

ProfileFiles=prefs.js,mimeTypes.rdf,chrome,extensions

Thanks for your work and best regards!

[malinduta]

Is Sof.exe an open source project?
If yes, can you provide the source code?
Thank you.

[LaptoniC]

It is closed source program.It is written in Win32ASM.So if you dont know ASM language it doesnt help you that much.Source code is almost identical the dissassembler output of exe file.

I need some help from you.
When i run the command: 7za.exe a -r Firefox Project\Firefox\* from the sof folder, the archive created contains 2 folders: Project\Firefox. The Firefox folder contains the dirs and files for silent Firefox.
Can you tell me how to have the firefox dirs and files on root of the archive? Just like the archive created by Sof.exe?
I know i can run the 7za.exe from firefox folder, but i wish not to do it this way. Is there any way to do it my way?
Thank you.

[LaptoniC]

I am going to directory where the files reside and issue a command ..\7za .... I hope you get the point.

[malinduta]

Thank you very much, LaptoniC
