Installer:Command Line Arguments
Please comment in the Talk page (use the Discussion tab above)
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT MIX command line options from different lines below (e.g. don't mix /S with /INI, etc.)
The account performing the installation will require administrative privileges to properly complete the installation.
Silent install:
<path to setup executable> -ms
Silent uninstall:
All version of Firefox
<path to setup executable> /S
Firefox 4.0 and later
<path to setup executable> -ms
Configuration ini file:
<path to setup executable> [/INI=<full path to configuration ini file>]
When specifying a configuration ini file the installer will always run silently. When specifying a Configuration ini file other command line switches should not be specified and may have unexpected results
/INI=<full path to configuration ini file>
