Using INI switch with installer is not adding bookmarks defined in the ini file

So I'm stuck I've been trying to use the INI switch to save time by automatically adding bookmarks to the browser. I followed guides and created a basic ini file that has:


TEST

[BookmarksToolbar] item.1.title=Example item.1.link=http://example.com/ item.1.description=Example


And created a batch script to run the setup installer


cd /d %~dp0Firefox\setup setup.exe /INI=%~dp0Firefox\distribution.ini PAUSE


When I run the batch file it will execute the installer in silent mode so I know that it's recognizing the INI switch. If I copy the path that the INI switch is using into run it opens the file so I know that it's pointing to the correct path but then when I open firefox the bookmark is still missing. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the replies I followed the policy idea. Essentially I took the installer extracted it and then in the core folder I added a distribution folder and inside of that added policies.json using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enterprise-policy-generator/ since I was running into issues with my JSON. So now if I call the setup executable inside in the extracted installer it also installs the distribution folder. I tried following the repack guide here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/repackaging-windows-installer but it was more than I needed. Thanks again!

It seems when I copied my ini and batch file over it lost the new line characters:

[BookmarksToolbar] item.1.title=Example item.1.link=http://example.com/ item.1.description=Example

and

cd /d %~dp0Firefox\setup setup.exe /INI=%~dp0Firefox\distribution.ini PAUSE

Is there some documentation on this that you're following?

I saw a reference here:

https://brashear.me/blog/2017/12/07/how-to-deploy-firefox-with-bookmarks-and-addons/

But it mentioned creating new profiles rather than running the Setup program.

Is this for your own Firefox or are you trying to set up a large number of computers?

Note that you need to use the full installer.
