[Request] latest Firefox ?

skrell · Post by **skrell** » Thu Dec 26, 2013 10:14 pm

I've noticed there are no threads for making and distributing firefox addons . Would someone be kind enough to make me one? I've tried using FFaM and it just crashes on me.

I would do it for you, but cant because I am on Android...But its best if you learned how to extract and make one yourself because you can personalize some settings, add/remove search plugins and even use a INI file to turn off shortcuts and/or maintanence service

There are other settings you can add/change, I dont know many (I am sure others will reply with them.) But once you are done its very easy to rebuild the installer with a tool like 7zip sfx maker (if you cant make one manually)

Wait for more tips on personalizing your installer and stuff, I am sure you will get a few more

I'm not really interested in making a custom install with all my settings and such, is there a simple install switch for the "Firefox Setup 25.0.exe" that I could use to build an addon with ?

-ms switch will install Firefox silently. It's mentioned in my guide. Packaging it in an addon for RVMi/nLite is trivial.

You can also use my maker: Firefox_maker.7z to automatically download and make silent the latest installer (no need to use any switch).

You have to edit the first line of the script (change the =lang value).

example:

Code: Select all

wget "http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win&lang=en-US"

if you want Firefox in English United States.

All possible values:

Code: Select all

mooms, i really like this little batch but how do i turn the SFX into an nlite addon?

Post by **mooms** » Sat Dec 28, 2013 2:03 pm

This is just a matter of creating an "entries.ini" file and packing it with the installer (who must be in a "svcpack" subfolder) into a cab/zip/rar/7zip archive.
English is not my native language so it is little hard to explain it better. Open any nLite/RVMi AddOn and you will understand.

For your pleasure, I have made a new maker that will also create a nLite/RVMi AddOn.

Here it is:

Firefox_SFX_and_AddOn_Maker.zip

Take a Entries_whatever.ini file from another nlite addon and edit it for your installer
You put our installer in the svcpack sub folder and zip it

You can use the default firefox installer and add your switches to the entries.ini or you can add your silent sfx with no switches

Vmanda, any idea why this batch names the self extracting firefox to MozFrFox.exe . Does the Fr stand for french?

Post by **mooms** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 1:58 am

A Big thanks to you vmanda, with the help of your maker I was able to create a much better version of mine.

As before, it will not modify the installation routine, so it is not overlapping yours, but it will now add the version number, lang & date for the sfx and addon.

Here it is:

Firefox_SFX_and_AddOn_Maker_2.0.zip

Not from french. Is just a short name (8.3) abreviation from Mozila Firefox for sfx executable compressed into svcpack addon.

@vmanda: you can use 7za instead of cabarc to pack the AddOn, in my test zip is smaller than cab compression and it's one less executable to carry in the Binary folder.
7za is also much faster than cabarc.

Hi mooms what exactly did you change from your last version?

Post by **mooms** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 10:50 pm

hi skrell, as I said earlier:

mooms wrote:it will now add the version number, lang & date for the sfx and addon.

Also better handling of errors, and the lang value is now set with a variable, like in vmanda's batch.

Just try and you'll see anyway.

@vmanda:

instead of using

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir /b %~dp0Download\*.exe') DO SET file=%%G
SET exevers=%file:.exe=%
SET version=%exevers:Firefox Setup =%

you can use

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir /b %~dp0Download\*.exe') DO SET exevers=%%~nG
SET version=%exevers:Firefox Setup =%

~n is used to exclude the extension in the file name.

New version with this optimization:
