Install Add-ons for All Users

Salutations!
I'm looking for a solution to install an add-on for all users. Specifically, we're using the Symantec PKI client (https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/mpki-support/index?page=content&id=SO27063&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US). The current version, as seen in the support page, has to be installed manually. the problem is, every time new user logs into the system with the latest version of the PKI client installed, this webpage will pop up, annoying users. As a workaround to this issue, I'm looking to install the add-on linked in on the support page and have it enabled for all users by default.
I followed this article's chosen solution, but it does not appear to have installed the add-on: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966922
Any assistance would be appreciated! The version of firefox that I attempted the solution in was version 35.0.1, but most of our systems are running in the ESR channel, version 31.4.0.
Cheers,
Moose
P.S. I've added the troubleshooting information, but my workstation is fairly unique, so I'm not sure if it'll be very applicable to most of the systems in our environment.

It would seem like that article ''should'' solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. I extracted the contents of the .xpi file into the browsers\extensions folder using the extension ID, yet that doesn't seem to have done anything. I ran firefox after copying the uncompressed files with an administrator account with no luck. Any thoughts?

  • Adobe Connect Pro Add-In for All Users

    We need to install Adobe Connect Pro Add-In for all users in a Citrix environment. However, when installing the add-in there is no prompt to input a location. It directly installs the add-in on a specific user profile. Is there anyway to install this for all users as normal users do not have access to install anything on our environments? Please help as I cannot find any information on this.

    Hi kylemkr

  • How do I install a Thunderbird add-on for all users? Putting the XPI file into Extensions folder didn't work.

    I'm trying to install Enigmail 1.8.2 for all users. I thought I read somewhere that you don't need to unpack the XPI file.
    Whilst writing this, I did some experimenting and found a solution, but it's messy (see below). Is there an easier way?
    Fresh install of Thunderbird 31.6 on Windows 7 x64. Have observed the following:
    1. If I install the extension for one user via the Add-Ons GUI (from the marketplace, not from a local file), it does work. The Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions folder is empty. Folder {847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5} is created in Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions\staged\ and moved from staged to extensions when TB is restarted.
    2. If I download the XPI file from Enigmail site and copy it to Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\Extensions folder, then Thunderbird's Extensions screen says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed".
    3a. If I rename the xpi to zip (e.g. enigmail-1.8.2-tb+sm.xpi.zip) then I can open it and see that the contents are similar to what was created at point (1). If I unzip the contents, then Thunderbird doesn't recognise the add-on, unless I rename the folder to the GUID above (which could be found in install.rdf or chrome.manifest, once you know what you're looking for).
    Presumably I could also have done a per-user install, copied the folder from the profile, removed the extension, then pasted the copy into the program folder. That would save looking up the GUID but is only a little less fiddly.
    3b. After renaming the folder and restarting TB, it gives me a new tab "Install Add-on" which says "Another program on your computer would like to modify Thunderbird with the following add-on: ... Location: C:\Program Files (x86)". Once I allow the add-on, it is listed in Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions.ini.
    Aside: Disabling the add-on simply removes the line from extensions.ini, so how does TB distinguish between an unapproved add-on and a disabled one? It seems to be in extensions.json.

    Is Thunderbird already installed in the computers? If so, you could download the .xpi file and drag and drop it into the extensions window (after opening that) to install it in all the computers, following which you click the Install buttons when they become enabled, and you might have to restart Tbird afterwards.

  • How do I install an Add-on for all users

    I wish to user the FoxFilter addon to prevent users from visit all websites, except a whitelist. This addon works fine. I just need the addon to work for all users on the computer. Not just the one the addon was installed for. Can this be done and if so, how?

    This is very possible and you can do it in few very steps.
    <br/><br/>1-First you have to download the xpi add-on file instead of installing it.
    <br/><br/>2-Use the following command at the run prompt (type Windows + R): firefox -install-global-extension
    <br/><br/>For example if your downloaded xpi add-on is on C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\
    <br/><br/>Then you write firefox -install-global-extension C:\Users\Simon\Downloads
    <br/><br/>Note : The addon will be normally available where every addon is. Keep in mind that only administrators can uninstall it.
    Have a nice day

  • Powershell 4.0 How to use Add-Printer to add printer for all users (machine)

    Is there a way I can use Powershell 4.0 Add-Printer cmdlet to add a printer for all users (machine)?  I tried from an admin account but it only adds a printer for the currently logged on user.
    thanks.

    Adding a printer for all users requires having access to their profiles (and registry hive for user) to save the mapped printer information. Your best bet is to either use Group Policy Preferences or write a user logon script that ones when they log in and
    maps the printer if not already mapped. 
    Group Policy Preferences Example
    I wrote an article a while back that shows how to use a GPO logon script to map a printer. It doesn't use V4, but the process would be the same as far as a GPO goes.

  • How to install an extension for "all users"

    I want to install a quantity of extensions for ALL users of FF on a PC running XP. There used to be a way of doing this but I have forgotten the method.
    I know to save the .xpi file for each extension, and that there is some folder in a common area where these files are placed so that each User gets them installed the next time they run FF

  • How to install add-ons for Pemiere Elements 13

    How to install add-ons to Premiere 13. I bought it together with Photoshop Elements in electronic version from Adobe.com page. But I dont have link to 2nd DVD with Premiere Add-ons. How to install that files ?

    reidak
    To what are you referring when you ask about "add-ons to Premiere 13" (assumed you mean Adobe Premiere Element 13)? On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
    Premiere Elements has not come with a Content Disc or offered Content download from an Adobe web site since Premiere Elements 10.
    If "add-ons" to you mean Content download...DVD Templates, Movie Themes, Clip Art, etc....then most of that is going to come from downloading
    Content from within the opened project. There is a limited amount of content that comes complete as part of the installation.
    A description of this process is fully described
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: No Content Disc - Content Downloads from Adobe
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask. Please supply more information If I have not targeted your question.
    Thank you.

  • Can I install Phone designer for all user?

    Hi
    I have phone designer application I install it on my PC but when I install it for anther user and give me error Unable to connected to server.
    Is there any parameters needs to check on CUCM?
    How many times can I install it?
    Thanks
    Kaff

    You can install it as many times as you want. Ensure that either the cluster-wide parameter or the device-specific parameter is set to allow phone personalization. After that, if it works for you it will work in general; don't forget to enter the CCMCIP server address in the client.

  • How to automate installing add-ons for large roll outs?

    I asked this question about a year ago here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/884702
    This answer worked fine until version 21. Now when I follow these steps, the add-on doesn't install.
    To recap, I do large scale rollouts of Firefox, and I'd like to be able to setup a group of add-ons that will be installed automatically (I don't want to manually install each one).
    How do I do this?
    Thanks!

    hello brundleflyguy, not much has changed - however the files now have to go into ''\browser\extensions'' within the program folder. some background on the issue is explained in www.ghacks.net/2013/05/15/why-you-may-have-lost-access-to-plugins-or-extensions-in-firefox-21/.

  • Problems installing flash player for all users on a computer (domain)

    Hi all,
    I've had a quick search but have unfortunately not found any answers.
    I've just setup a new image using WDS to install 55 new Dell computers. Flash player was installed as part of this image, the problem i'm getting is that if I log in as a domain administrator I can run flash fine with no problems, however if I log in as a domain user, and try to visit any site that requires flash, i can't seem to view any flash content.
    When logged in as the domain user and navigate to control panel I can see the "Flash player settings" option and when I view installed software I an see that flash player 11 is installed.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? - Do you require admin rights to view flash files?
    Any help would be extremely grateful!
    Thanks.
    Matt

    It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder.  Try a clean install on the original machine.
    If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
    Also check the permissions of all files in
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash
