Hi, I am trying to setup firefox to my liking automatically To this end, I am using "firefox profile maker" and it works great but I'm having issues adding all the add-ons that I like. Only the add-ons that are included in ffprofile make seem to install properly (but also, now I can't uninstall them ??) Anyway here is my full process for installing firefox automatically and then configuring it automatically. Perhaps you can hep me figure it out. First I install firefox automatically using the offline installer (my computers do not have access to internet by default, I must whitelist each computer, then individual software then individual websites first) So, I obtain the offline installer from this URL https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/111.0/win64/en-CA/Firefox%20Setup%20111.0.exe Next I have used the website https://ffprofile.com/ to create a pre-made profile This yields two files, and their contents profile.zip profile\prefs.js profile\extensions\CanvasBlocker@kkapsner.de.xpi profile\extensions\uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi enterprise_policy.zip defaults\pref\autoconfig.js distribution\policies.json firefox.cfg Next, I have pre-downloaded added all the add-on files I would like to install to the add-on folder However, when I perform the procedure, only canvas blocker and uBlock0 get installed I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If I take all the add-on files, dump them all into firefox, it opens 16 tabs On each tab I can now click add and click okay, if I do it right and quick enough, they all install, unless I miss one. That's over 50 clicks and very annoying ! Here is the list of add-ons I'm trying to add extensions\umibo-2.4.2.xpi extensions\amp2html-2.1.0.xpi extensions\close_tabs_right-1.2.4.xpi extensions\cookie_autodelete-3.8.2.xpi extensions\copy_tabs-1.12.35.xpi extensions\darkreader-4.9.62.xpi extensions\facebook_container-2.3.9.xpi extensions\google_container-1.5.4.xpi extensions\istilldontcareaboutcookies-1.1.1.xpi extensions\merge_window-1.0.2.xpi extensions\old_reddit_redirect-1.6.1.xpi extensions\order_tabs_by_domain-0.2.3.xpi extensions\privacy_badger17-2023.1.31.xpi extensions\spoof_geolocation-0.1.1.xpi extensions\tab_manager_plus_for_firefox-5.2.0.xpi extensions\traduzir_paginas_web-9.6.1.xpi I have created a script that I run after installing firefox using this command "Firefox Setup 111.0.exe" /S Then I run the following script to automatically install my pre-made profile Firefox-deploy-ffprofile.bat --------------------------------------------------------------- @echo off set z7EXE=%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7z.exe set EnterpriseConfig=firefox-profile\enterprise_policy.zip set ProfileConfig=firefox-profile\profile.zip set FirefoxProfile= set FirefoxInstallFolder=%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\ set FirefoxProfilesFolder=%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ if not exist "%z7EXE%" ( echo could not find 7z.exe, cannot continue & goto end ) if not exist "%FirefoxInstallFolder%" ( echo firefox is not installed, cannot continue & goto end ) if not exist "%FirefoxProfilesFolder%"*.default-release ( echo Profile folder missing, starting and stopping firefox to create them "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" & timeout /t 10 ) for /D %%i in ("%FirefoxProfilesFolder%"*.default-release) do ( if not defined FirefoxProfile ( set "FirefoxProfile=%%i" ) else ( set "FirefoxProfile=!FirefoxProfile!;%%i" ) ) echo Firefox profile is %FirefoxProfile% echo Is firefox running ?
