You can leave the defaults for maximum allowed run time and estimated installation time, if you wish. However, I am going to set the maximum allowed time to run at 15 minutes and the estimated installation time to 15 minutes. Since I am not going to specify any requirements and Mozilla Firefox has no dependencies, I am going to click Next for the last few screens.

In this example, I am going to opt to hide notifications in Software Center.
Step 17 — Wait a few minutes, and logon to one of the workstations in the Device Collection to which you deployed Firefox earlier. Mozilla Firefox should now be installed. When you launch it for the first time, it will launch without any unnecessary prompts or welcome pages, and will automatically enable the OneNote Web Clipper extension.

In the last year, reporting, and additional status information Just been reviewing my own Firefox deployment using MDT and have just twinged on one major issue as to why it was not working. Firefox is now 64 bit, so the x86 program files dir should be;. I updated my guide accordingly and it should now reflect the process of packaging and deploying the bit version of Firefox. Great step by step, but I would like to add that you forgot to mention that either the downloaded exe needs to be renamed or the install.
For example, as of today, the latest downloaded file is "Firefox Setup You're welcome! Also, love the mozilla. Need to check that one etc There is a way to import bookmarks into Firefox but I believe it requires copying a bookmarks.
You can also set the download the directory in the Mozilla. In testing this further, I discovered the bat file does not work as intended. The first line triggers the Firefox installation but does not wait for it to finish. It then immediately executes the rest of the lines which fail because the folder does not yet exist, at least on a fresh install. It would probably work if upgrading an existing version.
Also, I do not see the purpose of having the if statements at all since it would simply attempt to copy the file and fail? Here is a working version of the mozilla. If the batch script is triggering the Firefox install but not waiting for it to finish, then something might be wrong with the command being run, as that only occurs when there is an error in the command or the switches being used. A batch file runs commands synchronously, so in theory it will wait until after the process in this case the Firefox installer ends before it runs the next commands.
Try simplifying the file name to something like FirefoxSetupX Also, it's actually never a good idea to have two files with the same name mozilla. FYI my version of the install. The command setup. I am installing Something needs to be added to the command line?
This script works for me when running manually. If the package is hanging and failing, check the ccmexec log file. The deployed package either is not downloading the source files to the machine maybe the CCM cache is full? Thank you Alex. I got it to push on machines without firefox already installed. The items I am seeing now is "Failed to read the configuration file.
Awesome information. Occasionally I have systems that seem to pause during the update process and the next time the user attempts to open the program they get the XULRunner Error: Platform version Have you encountered this error and if so how were you able to avoid having it happen when you update systems?
In that case, I add an uninstall function to my application and deploy it as an uninstall request. Worked perfectly, thanks. One question on the config decisions, as opposed to functional. Why have you turned off Auto-Update? Having applications update on their own without any testing our quality control goes against best practices.
I've seen Microsoft push out automatic updates that cause serious issues with their products and services. I do not want to take the chance of that happening on a web browser popular with end-users such as Mozilla Firefox. It's just not my cup of tea. When i am opening Firefox it says "failed to load configuration file.
I have followed the instructions and it works for the most part except, the Install. It's not copying anything from the installation folder to the Mozilla firefox folder. As a result none of my preferences are showing up on firefox after installation. However, they work if I manually put those preference files in the Firefox folder. I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this. Your email address will not be published.
