Using the /INI command line argument (described above) I've been able to silently deploy Firefox to windows computers. Here is a video showing how to do a deployment.

It's important to remember that the /INI argument expects the full path (relative paths will not work). I keep my Firefox.ini file on an accessible network share. | It's important to remember that the /INI argument expects the full path (relative paths will not work).

I will admit to a little frustration with the information on the preceding page. Its bad enough there isn't an MSI installer to assist with the bulk group policy deployment of Firefox to a Windows domain, but to have out-of date information on the command line installation switches for uninstallation of old versions and no explanation that newer versions overwrite the older versions made it a very challenging day. | |||
For those who follow that want to do a domain installation, the contents of the script written are included, saved in a Computer-based startup script GPO and applied to the necessary computer OU. It does drop a file (firefox3.6.13installed.txt) on the c: drive with the time and date of installation to prevent installation every time the PC starts, change the path to suit... | |||

if exist "c:\firefox3.6.13installed.txt" goto end | |||
REM uninstall all earlier versions | |||
REM \\server\programs\Firefox\Firefox_Setup_3.6.13.exe /S | |||
REM Ba-bow... that don't work... | |||
REM install latest version silently and with default options | |||
