One of the features of MR Tech Local Install that appeals is the ability to designate archive folders for add-in's. This code should be built into Mozilla Apps with an eye to a standard location per supported platform. On Windows 9X in the folder X:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Addins\(app name) where other folders at the ..\Mozilla\.. level would be Firefox, Tunderbird, etc. Then when an add-in is d/l or updates, the *.xpi would be archived and have a standard path for install. An added benifit is rollback and ease of adding add-in's to a new profile. | One of the features of MR Tech Local Install that appeals is the ability to designate archive folders for add-in's.
