It can be frustrating to manually reinstall Firefox with all its extensions, themes, personas and other add-ons. Even for those administrators who need to deploy Firefox on hundreds of network computers will find it a cumbersome task to do it manually. To assist you in building a silent Firefox installer with all of the settings preset, here is Firefox Addon Maker.
Features:
- This is a Hyper Text Application that will create a silent installer, a switchless installer(with visual queues), an addon or a Windows 7 Toolkit addon.
- The addons and installers can be created in Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, 32-bit or 64-bit.
- The addons and installers can be installed in Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, 32-bit or 64-bit.
- The addons and installers can be used with RVM, nLite, WPI, Window 7 Toolkit or WA installer.
- You can create an installer with all of your settings intact, an installer with no modifications. Or, anything in between.
Choose From:
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.18 through 3.6.x
- Firefox builds optimized for P3, SSE or SSE2 systems. Such as: Ayakawa's SSE2, Tete's SSE(2), Pigfoot's P3 or Blazing Fast's SSE2 Firefox build.
Options:
- Insert personal items, such as: bookmarks, passwords, cookies, history and preferences, extensions data.
- Insert other items, such as: extensions, plugins, components, searchplugins, dictionaries and modules.
- Disable the Migration Wizard that runs on first boot.
- Disable the Compatibility Wizard when upgrading versions.
- Edit the extensionsinstall.rdf files to update to 3.7. This will allow most extension to work with the current build.
- Remove Branding from the Optimized Firefox Builds. This allows programs like AI RoboForm to work with the Optimized Firefox builds.
- Set Firefox as the default browser.
- Use Resource Hacker on the Firefox.exe file and replace the icon set with your choice of a custom icon set.
- Create a Silent Installer or one with visual queues that can be used in a live, RVM or WPI.
- Create an addon that can be used with RVM, WPI or nLite.
- Create a Windows 7 Tools addon that can used with W7Tools or WA Installer.
- Create shortcuts on the desktop, pinned to the Start Menu, in Start MenuPrograms, the Quick Launch toolbar, pinned to Quick Launch or a user selectd folder in Start MenuPrograms.
- Can create the "Pinned Apps" shortcut on the taskbar and Start Menu for some Windows 7 users (23 languages currently supported).
Customizations:
- Choose from any language pack available for the version of Firefox that you choose.
- Choose the current Firefox installation path (if you have more than one version installed).
- Choose to use your current Firefox Installation to build installers or addons, instead of downloading the same version to create the installer.
- Choose the profile to use to make the addon, it does not have to be yours. So long as you have access to the profile. The profile can be located anywhere in your system.
- Choose the installation path for the installers and addons. You can choose to install to any folder on the system drive.
- Choose the profile name and location. You can choose to create a profile of almost any name and place that profile in almost any folder on the system drive.
- Automatically downloads the current version of Adobe Shockwave (slim) Player, Adobe Flash Player and M$ Silverlight.
- Installs the current version plugins: Foxit Reader, Media Player, Office 2007, QuickTime Player, Abobe Reader, RealPlayer, Macromedia Authorware, WGA and OGA.
- It is completely uninstallable from within "Add or Remove Programs". It now uses the same installation process as the original files.
- This is completely upgradeable.
- Log files are created for almost all operations.
HTA Script:
- Creates files in the Current location.
- If running the hta directly in Vista or Windows 7 and UAC is enabled, you MUST Run as Administrator. This is not required if you run the self extracting file.
Installer or Addons:
- All of the installers and addons created use the same silent installer, with just a couple of variations.
- The silent installer (visual queues) uses GUIMode="1". The addon and Windows 7 Toolkit Addon uses SelfDelete="1"
- It is not required to run the installers with 'Run As' Administrator, this is preset in the installer. If UAC is enabled, you will be prompted to allow the installer to make changes to your system.

- Vista
