Force install of an Add-ons

We have to public computers in our staff area. They are both locked down via GP. We have set them up to auto-login to guest accounts when you switch the machine on. Each time you start the machine it resets the local profile to blank. So nothing can be saved locally. I have modified the pref.js file to clear cookies, history etc etc on browser shutdown.
Anyway, I found an add-on called Public fox. (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/public-fox/). It's a pretty cool add-on and it's ideal for our set up. However, we want Public fox to be installed on Firefox all the time. Is there a way to modify a file(not locally) which installs the add-on.

Hi samc55, I do not know if there is a way to suppress the "allow this installation" page.

  • How to fix problem with installed and working add-ons disappearing after update to 20.0.1?

    I updated to version 20.0.1 of Firefox the other day. I had the theme Qute 3++ 1.19 installed and it took 3 restarts of the browser before it kicked in and worked again, for some reason.
    Then I noticed that my MillBar Community toolbar 3.18.0.7 had disappeared, which I use for the feature of collecting my email accounts to get fast notifications about new emails. Also my Adblock Plus 2.2.3 seems to not be working because all of a sudden I see ads everywhere and I also discovered a bunch of pop-ups from nowhere. I used these add-ons for such a long time that I was shocked.
    When i went to type a message to a friend, I also noticed that my american-english dictionary/spellchecker was not working.
    The first thing I checked was that none of these add-ons was inactivated or said to need updates. The dictionary had disappeared, so i re-installed that. I also reinstalled Adblock Plus. Still it doesn't work.
    When i entered the email information into the toolbar options, it collects my emails for a while, but suddenly it stops and the information is not there anymore. If I restart the browser it also disappears.
    Same thing with the dictionary. it works for a while, and then suddenly it's like it's disabled.
    And the add-ons are still in what seems like working conditions in my lists. No errors that I can see, no updates available.
    I'm really at a loss as to what to do, I've never had problems like this before that couldn't be solved with an update of the add-on. So I'd be very grateful for help with this and hope that I have provided enough information.

    this help is not useful.
    Since the new firefox version 20.0.1, '''no more of my add-ons work''' (except firebug ). They are installed '''but not visible '''(no toolbar, no menus) !!! same for the new add - ons that I installed. I tried everything: to reinstall add-on, to reinstall firefox.
    this new version of firefox is really horrible, '''thank you for making a corrective because I cannot work any more with'''

  • Error 175 .- CC needs admin right to install or remove add-ons - Windows 7 -

    Sync files is turned on and I updated all my CC apps but can't install the Kuler extension for PS CC 2014 and other add-ons.  Also, constantly getting pop-up  notification "Need Admin Rights to install add-ons"."Error 175 " "Installation failed" . Windows 7, desktop & laptop.  Please help to resolve this issue. Thanks. Giulio

    In my understanding, you have acquired some add-ons at https://creative.adobe.com/addons, but Adobe Creative Cloud application failed to install them due to that you didn't provide the administrator right.
    You can restart Adobe Creative Cloud application, then it will try to re-install all the failed add-ons, and the notification will pop-up again. You can click it and provide the administrator right.

  • When I installed Firefox, my add-ons for Internet Explorer were shut off. Can I only have add-ons for one browser?

    I need my Internet Explorer for work purposes. Please help shut down add-ons for Firefox assuming this is the problem

    Firefox shouldn't affect your Internet Explorer in any way. What exactly isn't working?

  • Since installing Firefox 4 Beta 5, the Add-Ons manager is empty. My add-ons still appear to be installed and working, but I can't install more, or uninstall, or configure them.

    My add-ons still appear to be installed and working, but I can't install more, or uninstall, or configure them.

    Try forcing Firefox to rebuild the list of installed add-ons.
    # Open the profile folder, for details of how to access it see the [[profiles]] article.
    # Close Firefox, then delete extensions.sqlite (you can also delete extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.rdf if they exist)
    When you restart Firefox the list of installed add-ons should be rebuilt.
    If that did not work, you may have an add-on that is causing the problem, try the options in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
    If you type '''about:addons''' into the location bar does that bring up the list of add-ons? I have seen a blank add-ons list if Mr Tech Toolkit add-on is installed, accessing the add-ons manager by typing about:addons in the location bar is a workaround with that add-on installed. The author of that add-on is working on an update.

  • Having a problem with Add-ons I did not install and now can't uninstall.

    Lately I have experienced problems with re-directing and other issues with Mozilla. I looked in my add-ons list and there are several things there that i did not add manually. (I have been having much trouble with ITunes and noticed a plug in in mozilla and want to know if it is necessary.) Is there a way to keep this from happening? I have been using mozilla for years and liked it when I could do a basic install without any add-ons that I did not request. Here is a list of the things that are troubling me - I am sure a few may be necessary. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with this?

    For camera problem try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up

  • After installing 4 add ons and restarting, firefox no longer works - help!

    On my PC running Windows 7, I installed these 4 add ons: Measure it, Web Developer, Colorzilla, and Screenshot, restarting Firefox, and only the home page came up, none of my bookmarks were working. I had to manually type in a web address for anything to work. Then that stopped working too. I uninstalled all of the add ons mentioned, and restarted the computer. Now nothing works, only the browser comes up, but with an empty tab, the home page icon does not work either. HELP!

    Well, what seemed to work was I uninstalled another add on I had that had to do with gaming and that seemed to do the trick. Wierd.
    Thanks anyways.

  • All add-ons / extensions are missing as if not installed. (ff4.0.1)

    I'm currently using Firefox 4(.o.1). when i checked the add-ons manager, in the "extensions" tab, there are no extensions and it says here "you don't have any add-ons of this type installed". i've restarted the browser a few times and my laptop once, and no changes at all except for one lucky time when it seems normal. i don't know whether it is there but no one can see it or what. i've been using adblock plus and so far, i see no ads/popups.

    Just try to install (any) new add-ons and restart firefox.

  • I downloaded add ons but I can't find them anywhere

    So where would I find them or how do I use the addons I downloaded

    If you installed from the Add-ons site, you should find those add-ons listed here:
    menu > Tools > Add-ons
    If you tap an individual add-on, it might have options. Otherwise, you could check whether the add-on added itself to the menu somewhere. If it doesn't show up anywhere in the menus, maybe it has some other UI? For example, Ghostery displays a ghost icon over the page.
    If you can't find it anywhere, do you want to mention which add-on(s) you're trying to use?

  • Pages load very slowly, but load fine in Chrome and Safari. I've tried disabling add-ons, restarting, even uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.

    This just began happening today, although I had not installed any new add-ons. This problem also happens on version 4.01.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
