nsmith -> FireFox Redistributable (6/6/2008 6:05:11 PM)

Greetings,
I need to deploy  Firefox to about 30 people using SMS 2003. I have downloaded it and ran the  /? to get switches. Is there a wizard that will build a customized  file that I can deploy via SMS? IE can do .mst which makes it rather simple.

I've never had to deploy Firefox; but whenever we have to deploy a new app, I always check appdeploy.com to see if other admins have been in the trenches.  Appdeploy is delivery-agnostic.  Here's what others have done when deploying Firefox.  It looks like someone has a repackaged.msi download via opensource (check under related links).  If you can't deploy someone else's repackage, there are command lines in the other section.

I use a VBScript wrapper, but we deploy Firefox as a standard app and haven't had any problems with it. Just download the official .EXE and then use the "/S" switch to install silently. And if you want to customize things like the bookmarks or other settings, look into the "prefs.js" file. And if you use one of those repackaged versions make sure they uninstall and/or let the newer verisons install on top of them (I got bit a few times trying to use someone else's iffy repackaged version in the past)...
