Deploying Mozilla Firefox 10.0.5 ESR and Update Bookmarks & other settings

Hi,
need help to include new bookmarks on the user browser during the upgrade via SCCM and making sure that the old bookmarks are in place as well after the upgrade installation is complete.
Or, how to merge the old and new bookmarks in Mozilla with the help of packaging tool Wise, InstallShield or Adminstudio.
Is there any command line to include new bookmarks in Firefox. We have to use either script, command line or EXE to include new bookmarks.
Customization Required:
# Custom home page
# Auto-Update Settings
# Set Default Search Engine
# Include Flash player Add-in
# update bookmarks
The above customization need to be performed during fresh install and upgrade using EXE or MSI.

You can initialize the bookmarks via a bookmarks.html file placed in defaults\profile (needs to be created), but AFAIK then there is no way to merge new bookmarks with existing bookmarks via the command line or otherwise apart from importing an HTML file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks ).

    This Is The One Thing Missing From firfox Other Than That
    It Is a Great Browser

    You're welcome.
    You can download the beta, but you should remember that it is still a beta version and that there are still bugs that need to be resolved. The beta versions are released as test versions to make it possible to get as many bugs fixed as possible before the final release.
    Make sure that you create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile to avoid the beta version from corrupting the Firefox 3.6.x profile.<br />
    The Firefox beta version install by default in their own program folder and do not replace the currently installed Firefox 3.6.x release.

    download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    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.

  • I am having problems downloading Mozilla Firefox. I select download and wait - then I select run. My computer then says it can't verify the site do I want to run anyway. When I select yes, an error box displays saying that the file is corrupt.

    I have windows 7 on my computer. I am sure it is a setting issue but I do not know how to fix it.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • My computer will not let me download firefox, a screen comes up and says my security settings won't allow it.

    This is a lap top. Yesterday nor today we could not display firefox and that is how I would normally logon to the computer. Firefox kept coming up and saying it could not display page. Today I uninstalled firfox and tryed to re-install, now a box comes up and says my security settings won't allow it.

    Make sure that you do not run the file directly, but save the file to the Desktop and start the installation via a double-click.<br />
    You may need to unlock the file via the right-click context menu: Properties > Security

  • Not finding Mozilla Firefox in android market place and site not found thru default browser either Feb. 11, 2011

    I want to install Firefox on my htc droid. I searched market place; not found. When I use default browser on the phone (google) and type in url as instructed on website, I get site not found.

    Firefox cannot be downloaded from the Android Market on phones with incompatible processors. For more information, and to check your phone's compatibility, see:

  • Why does this keep popping up five tabs at a time: Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/ - please note that I recently updated firefox and tried disabling plug-ins, etc. My virus software is up to date. Thanks.

    The page listed above pops up in a Firefox browser window with five tabs open usually when checking email but sometimes while surfing the net and repeatedly. Some include a 'problem loading page' notice with the following:
    Firefox can't find the server at www.xn---jca9qmb.com.
    or
    Firefox can't find the server at www.xn--dx%if-61a864d.com.
    These are the last two of the five tabs that pop up together.
    This has happened nine times in the past five to ten minutes.
    Since my Norton is up to date and I have recently updated Firefox and plug-ins, I assume this is a software problem however disabling plug-ins and other items has not solved the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    YES it does, HOWEVER in the past Most (not all) Beta auto updates did not trigger Comodo Firewall problem (BUT occasionally did) and I resolved the same way (namely uninstalling and installing a full install.
    I do not know if having Aurora AND BETA both installed causes any conflicts regarding this issue
    I am NOW going to uninstall Maintenance service, Beta and Aurora retaining only my add-on and preferences. I will delete all Comodo rules for them Then I will download an older update of both Beta and Aurora and see what happens
    Will report back in 30 mins

  • The background colour bar below Mozilla Firefox Start Page is black and I can see the print. Only Web is showing in white and images, news, etc. is not visible. What to do

    There is an items bar which allows one to go directly to the news. The bar items are: Web, Images, Videos, Maps, News, Shopping, more.. The background color was either white or gray with blue print. Now the background color is black and I can barely see the items to click on. I downloaded Firefox twice and the problem is the same.

    That is a Google experiment:

  • Mozilla/Firefox not rendering MyYahoo page after update

    I did all the updates this week (10.4.4, Itunes, Quicktime) and also installed iLife 06. Now Mozilla 1.7.12 and Firefox refuse to render MyYahoo page correctly. It is completely unusable with object spread out far to the left and down the page.
    Safari, of course, works fine but I've never liked Safari and I like to stay consistent with my Solaris environment at work and on my laptop.
    I deleted the mozilla cache (both through Preferences and the finder) to no avail.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Jim, trash Mozilla and Firefox, empty the trash, restart your computer,
    Go back to there site and re download them.
    Remember, always repair permissions before and after any update.

  • After update, my firefox reverted to my old and unusable bookmarks leaving me with numerous lost bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    I recently updated my firefox and when I opened it, all of my bookmarks that I've made over the past several updates are gone. My current page shows bookmarks that I have deleted a long time ago or are no longer working. Even bookmarks that I have saved in folders are gone. My stumbleupon is also missing and will not update. As a teacher, many of my bookmarks were important and I would really appreciate some help.

    I have tried opening my previous bookmarks and restoring them, but even the "recently bookmarked" section shows bookmarks that I made years ago instead of the ones that I made today.
