 [[Enterprise/Firefox/ExtendedSupport:Proposal|Firefox ESR]] is an extended support release; deployment tools should be very similar since there are only minor changes between the normal release version and the ESR.

+== Installer Options ==
-Large Oranizations have a variety of software deployment systems.  In most cases the Firefox installation package can be wrapped inside these deployment systems.
+See [[Installer:Command Line Arguments]] for details on how to customize the Firefox installer and make it run silently.
-Some groups have packaged the firefox installer inside a MSI package to do their deployments. The firefox installation program can be wrapped inside these deployment systems.  Two installer options are valuable in these set ups.
-FirefoxSetup.exe  /ms    (for mode-silent)
-or
-FirefoxSetup.exe  /ma  (auto-mode, hands-free but visible)
-Another installation option ( /ira ) might be useful in these scenarios as it keeps the program from running after the install has completed.
-Some changes were made in Firefox 2 to modify installer command line options.  Information on those changes is here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments
-A project is also underway to allow packaging of custom versions of Firefox.  See http://byob.mozilla.com/ for more information
