The download and installation process should survive unexpected terminations of the installation process, and be able to include Mozilla applications, addons, and/or third-party components. | ||
In addition to the default shipping applications, the installer should be configurable to download a specific, Mozilla-authorized customization package which would be applied post-installation of the Mozilla app prior to first-run. This would help simplify the administration overhead of customized repacks, and provide additional methods of distributing Firefox to end-users. | |||
