Firefox 27.1 silent install and configuration(homepage, proxys and bookmark)

Hello,
I am trying to perform a silent install and configuration for Firefox 27.1 but I am not able to get the same results I got with versions 26 and below. For these previous versions I used the method described in this link:
http://www.mockbox.net/configmgr-sccm/174-install-and-configure-firefox-silently
But for Firefox 27 creating the Mozilla.cfg and the other files doesn't seem to work. Could you please tell me how to silently configure the proxys and homepage on Firefox 27.1 during the install. I also need to add a bookmark during the installation. Could you please tell me how to do that as well? I found some methods saying I had to edit a bookmark.html file but I don't think this file is present on firefox 26 on.
thank you in advance.
regards.

thank you for your reply guigs2, unfortunately none of those links were helpful for me. As I mentioned in my question I already tried the silent install method using the Mozilla.cfg file. It worked for the previous versions but it doesn’t work for version 27 anymore. As for the INI file, that doesn’t help me either since I need to configure the homepage, proxies and bookmarks all during the installation, for the INI all I’ve seen is that you can configure INSTALLDIR, shortcuts etc. Configuring proxies, homepage and bookmarks through group policies as one of the solutions said is not an option for me, I need to do that during the silent install of Firefox 27.

Silent Install and Configuration Files

I am trying to do a silent install and am scripting with AutoIT. Before
the reboot I am copying down configuration.cfg and configuration.ini that
I have created previously. But when the machine restarts it seems to
ignore these and use a default configuration. Does anyone know what files
I need to copy and in what situation in order to get NCF to use a prepared
configuration.
Many Thanks
Andrew

the following list of files is what i backup when i run an update or
reinstall the client or whatever...
config.ini
configuration.cfg
favorites.ini
modules.ini
ncf.ini
op_data.ini
op_data.mdb
op_log.ini
op_viewer.ini
resolved.dns
plugins.ini - will be different if you've installed any
Cheers!

Need Help Automating (Silent Install) and Serializing PSE 12. Installation (Volumn License)

I am trying to automate and serialize a silent installation for PSE 12. I have a volume license for 50 users. The old Silent Install command (PSE 11) no longer works for a silent install (PSE 12). I need this routine to suppress the EULA and any other user interaction required. Additionally I need the installation to NOT require end users to Login using an Adobe Digital ID.
I've attempted to try the "Solution" found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5945374 . So far I've been unsuccessful. Here are the steps I've taken thus far.
Copied install files to a network drive.
Installed PSE 12 on a local Computer and using the Volumn Serial Number and Registered the program.
Downloaded the latest version of APTEE.
I've ran Ran the following on the registered computer successfully with a return code of 0: adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=<<Volume SN>> --leid="V7{}PhotoshopElements-EMT12-Win-GM" --regsupress=ss
The following failed with a return code of 19 and an error messager of Could not find prov.xml: adobe_prtk --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile="absolute path to prov.xml"
Please help.
Thank You

They informed me that it's impossible to do a silent install and surpress the EULA.
That seems at variance with the example code in the links I posted:
Have you gone to chat via the Volume Licensing support page - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/avl-help.html. There is reference on that page to the Enterprise Deployment Forum (it seems more geared to Cloud subscriptions, but there are people posting Elements questions).

Repackaging Safari 5.1.7 with silent install and custom settings

Hi everyone,
I'm searching for a solution to create a custom installation for Safari 5.1.7.
I accomplished the same task for other browsers using the MSI extraction from the .EXE installer and using different methods to set custom settings like: EULA accepted, default home page, etc during the installation process.
My question here is if Apple supports or allows to do a redistribution of its application for large Windows Enterprise environments with this kind of custom settings using either Flexera Install Shield or any other to modify the MSI installer and accomplish this task without the need of using external .JS, .XML files like other browser silent installations supports for redistribution / repackaging.
I isolated the Safari MSI file to prevent the installation of the other software that comes with the main .EXE: AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Bonjour and Bonjour64.msi, SetupAdmin.exe but I can't modify the default home page or prevent the prompt to set the default browser from inside the MSI to have it done.
This custom settings should be done in a more elegant way than using Regedit to search for the changes after the Setup finishes.
If you have any answer for this please let me know.
Kind regards.

Well I guess I have to reply to myself. No one seems to know this one.
I found that : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2316559?threadID=2316559 is Not working for Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 x64 even if you tried to open the pslist file from : ...\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\com.apple.Safari.plist the file seems that will be set as per user and even if you modify it it will not work.
No support has been found to have a GPO neither Flexera Admin Sudio Repackager or Tunner has succeeded to repackage or Build a successful MSI using Isolate or Installation Monitoring process due to some errors during the installation pointing to folder : C:\Windows\winsxs
So, basically I just need to confirm with any Apple guru if this is Possible or Not to do that or what could be the solution to get a normal SCCM 2012 package for Safari 5.1.7 with custom settings: Home Page, Disable ask for Default Browser, Disable Ask for Updates.
By the way I have the switches that works fine for Silent install and it works fine:
msiexec /i Safari.msi /qn SCHEDULE_ASUW=0 DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=1 installdir="%programfiles(x86)%\Safari" allusers=true reboot=suppress
I will really appreciate if some one replies asap !!!!
Thanks and Kind regards.

I have downloaded a latest version of firefox but how to install and configure in ubuntu 11.04

How to silently install and set default settings

I need to deploy FireFox 16.0.2 to a bunch of Windows computers and set some default settings. Is there a good article that can walk me through it?
I also need to set the home page, have it not check for the default browser, and disable updates. The -ms option does silently install FireFox so I guess I just need to know how to configure FireFox for our environment and push out those settings with the install.
I have versions ranging from 1 to 15. Do those old versions need to be removed first or can 16.0.2 be installed over what is already there? Is there an uninstall switch for this so that I can create a package to remove it?

hello jmoody76 - you can manage central settings with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder. this article gives some guidance on how to implement that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
i think it may work to just install the new versions on top of the older ones (though i'm not sure if this has any unintended side effects on those very old installations) or according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments it's possible to run a silent uninstall through the setup executable by /S.

Silent install- ASM Configuration Assistant fails

I am trying to do a silent install with response file. At the end of the install it says I need to run configToolAllCommands which I do but the ASM Configuration assistant fails. I assume I need to pass in asmsnmp password but how do I do that? I see I can specify ResponseFile=<fn> when I run configToolAllCommands but how do I set the asm passwords in a response file? I tried just creating a response file that included asmsnmpPassword=mypassword and sysAsmPassword=mypassword but it didn't like that. Anyone know how to pass in the password? I think it will set up the asmsnmp user in this configuration assistant? because that is one of my problems after the install completes I don't have that user set up. I need all of this to be automated.
thanks for any ideas.

well I did not find any documentation on how to create a resposne file for the ConfigToolAllCommands- all I found using the -help option was that I could include a ResponseFile=<fn> parameter. so all I did was put 2 llines in the file sysAsmPassword=mypassword and asmsnmpPassword=pAssword. And that doesn't work...

Firefox won't open, thought maybe deleted, updated all plugins, still no Firefox so downloaded Firefox, but won't install and message box keeps saying to close Firefox so it can install. HELP!

Last night my Norton told me to get rid of some of my programs so my computer would run faster. My computer was given to me with many programs already installed, and it is hard to tell from the names of programs what they actually do; but I figured if I could remove, then I could re-install if necessary. I removed a few before my brain was able to scream STOP. I cannot now remember which ones. No doubt this has everything to do with Firefox's "absence." (I do know that I did not remove Firefox itself, but possibly a program that plays a supporting role.) I'm dizzy trying to "fix" this, and if I was not able to LOL, I'd be crying all night! Thanks for any help.

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

What download is good for Firefox 33 for silent install for windows os?

In fire Fox 33 download we see there is setup stub .exe , when will setup.exe for firefox 33 be available as we cannot do a silent install for setup stub.exe . we have no issues in doing silent install for setup .exe which we had for previous versions , also where we can find the download for firefox 32

Older releases can be found on the Mozilla CDN server, but keep in mind that older versions are not safe to use on internet as they have disclosed security vulnerabilities.

Silent install and activation of 50x copies of PhotoShop Elements 12 TLP

I am trying to deploy a 50-user TLP licence of PSE12 to 50 PCs without having to visit each PC, as was possible with previous versions.
I have the silent install completing without error but the product is not activated, and needs me to sign in with an Adobe ID on each PC. Even once per PC, this is not acceptable for a network install.
Also I note that end users can Sign Out of the Adobe ID thereby deactivatingthe software for all users of the PC, until I revisit and sign in again. And no, we are not going to give all users the Adobe ID credentials. Even before events of the past week
The PSE12 install logs shows "Override files does not exist . Overwrite the value of Override dir to be a blank string" - it is not finding application.xml.override, even though the file is definitely accessible in the right places and is in UTF-8 format.
(In addition, therefore, updates are not suppressed.)
My hunch is that the application.xml.override mechanism has been removed from PSE12 because of the new Adobe ID sign-in requirement?
I'm aware that AMEE is not application to PSE deployment.
I'd be grateful for assistance on this.
Regards
William

Hello!
I did all required steps, as you mentioned above to serialize Adobe Elements 12, but it was not successfull. I had an return code=14 in oobelib.log.
What I did:
1) Installed "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12" on the machine
2) It has been successfully installed.
3) I opened "Command-line" cmd.exe as administrator (I have an administrative privileges on that machine)
4) Run following command:
adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial="my_serial_number" --leid="V7{}PhotoshopElements-EMT12-Win-GM" --regsuppress=ss
where my_serial_number is my actually serial number with dashes.
5) After few seconds I got following:

Every time i try and update firefox a window pops up ad says that I must reboot firefox from a previous install and when i do and i try to reinstall firefox the same pop up comes up and it won't let me update to the new version

when i try to update firefox to the new version and i go to install it it tells me to reboot the system from a previous install of firefox so i go and reboot the system and it keeps saying the same thing.

Try this: 
# Close Firefox.
# In Windows Explorer, go to the following location: '''%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates'''
# Delete everything in that folder.

i can not play online euchre ,any more since i updated my java.no matter how many times i reinstall it , it says i need it. please help

*Firefox 12 (and all previous) is a 32-bit browser and requires the 32-bit version of Java. 32-bit browsers will run on 64-bit operating systems as you have experienced.
*If you have both 32-bit and 64-bit browsers installed on your system, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java.

My HP printers' software is disabled by/not compatible with any versions of Firefox I have ever installed and this is extreme;y inconvenient.

I have Windows Vista as my operating system, I install every Firefox update. An earlier version of Firefox allowed me to use my 1st HP printer but haven't been able to use that printer or a newer one for 2 years. I used to reinstall the software each time but now that doesn't work either.
I want to use my two very good HP printers/software with my laptop.
I have an HP computer and 2 HP printers and want to have them work together.

Is your wretched printer the same model? How about the Mac - and your OS.
I have tried to persuade HP that this should be investigated here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/Unable-to-send-print-data -Photosmart-C5280/td-p/434623/page/2
Please do contribute to that discussion too, since I assume that HP will be the organisation to investigate/correct any driver problems.
