I am currently using USMT and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to upgrade/deploy Windows7. My efforts to include Firefox 10* in the migapp.xml have been unsuccessful. It refuses to capture the Firefox data. I am sure it's a syntax issue. It works for version 4, eg:

   <component context="UserAndSystem" type="Application">
       <displayName _locID="migapp.firefox4">Mozilla Firefox 4</displayName>
       <environment name="GlobalEnv"/>
       <environment name="GlobalEnvX64"/>
       <role role="Settings">
           <detection>
               <conditions>
                   <condition>MigXmlHelper.DoesObjectExist("Registry","%HklmWowSoftware%\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 4.*\bin [PathToExe]")</condition>
               </conditions>
           </detection>
           <rules context="User">

                   </objectSet>
               </destinationCleanup>
               <include>
                   <objectSet>
                       <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\* [*]</pattern>
                       <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\* [*]</pattern>

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the MozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
