distributing a customized Firefox in small enterprise

Hello everyone,

I got around 50 windows clients to deal with and I wonder how to create a customized version to distribute via Kaspersky Security Center.

What I intend is to create an .msi, a folder or something to install. It should include some extensions like ublock or https-everywhere and such. I also like to have a customized theme included.

There are some ressources like AutoConfig or GPO GPO or repackaging installer. But I don't know if the procedures still work since the documents are three years old and, to be honest, I didn't manage to get anything work that way.

Isn't there a simple way to roll out Firefox in a company with some customization?

Thanks.

Repackaging the installer still applies, and that would be my recommendation. You could package a policies.json file with it.

Do you not have any central management?

Hi Mike.

I've got ActiveDirectory (but I didn't get it to work with this article). I also got Kaspersky Security Console which is my favourite tool to roll out new software. But the repackaged installer doesn't run on Windows 10 (aborts with an error) using this article.

Any help appreciated.

Klaus

Can you be more specific as to what isn't working? We've had folks using ActiveDirectory with Firefox for a few years now...
