'''PLEASE NOTE:'''<br>This page documentation has been superseded by the [moved to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/installer/windows/installer/FullConfig.html Firefox source tree documentation]. The content that was already here has been left up for convenience, but the above link is now the authoritative, up-to-date documentation.    ''Please comment in the Talk page (use the Discussion tab above)'' <b>IMPORTANT:</b><br>DO NOT MIX command line options from different lines below (e.g. don't mix /S with /INI, etc.)<br>The account performing the installation will require administrative privileges to properly complete the installation.<br>This page applies only to the full installer and not the stub installer. If you want to perform a silent install you cannot do so with the stub installer and you must use the full installer. Full installers for Firefox can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ (or for Firefox [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/ ESR] at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ ). Silent install (always installs into the default location. Use the "Configuration ini file" option below to set the install location and other install options):<br><tt>&lt;path to setup executable&gt; -ms</tt> Silent uninstall:<br><tt>&lt;path to setup executable&gt; /S</tt> Configuration ini file:<br><tt>&lt;path to setup executable&gt; [/INI=&lt;<b>full path</b> to configuration ini file&gt;]</tt> When specifying a configuration ini file the installer will always run silently. When specifying a Configuration ini file other command line switches should not be specified and may have unexpected results Configuration ini file syntax and available settings:<pre>[Install];; Remove the semicolon (;) to un-comment a line.;; The name of the directory where the application will be installed in the; system's program files directory.
