Would dearly love to see command-line arguments to set up user installation and default identity items, especially the local-folders area name, username, and password! If that could be done, Thunderbird could be easily pushed to a whole Windows domain :)

command line arguments to uninstall firefox 2.0
Can anyone give me some pointers on this?
I need to do a silent uninstallation of firefox through the fir. What script can I run for this?
- /S works for both Robert Strong 02:14, 25 August 2007 (PDT)
Thanks LOTS
Can't help you with this, but I have a question about the config.ini file. I have set CloseAppNoPrompt=true, but when updating Fx 2.0.0.1 to version 2.0.0.2, the install does NOT close Fx if "Warn me when I attempt to close multiple tabs" has not been un-checked. Is there another value I could use? (force, always close etc)
- Regretfully there is no way to do this without killing the process and we are removing that capability from the installer for Firefox 3.0 so it will always prompt. Robert Strong 02:14, 25 August 2007 (PDT)
Does that really work?

Doesn't work at all for now!
The /D and /INI switches don't seem to work at all. I tried the following line in an install.cmd file: "%~dp0Firefox Setup 2.0.0.11.exe" /S /D="D:\Browsers\Firefox" /INI="%~dp0Firefox.ini"
The /S switch seemed to work: it was silent. However, FF installed into it's default directory on C:\, not into D:\Browsers\Firefox. That path was also specified in the .ini file.
The page says that if /INI is specified, the installer always runs in silent mode. This was not the case. I had to add /S. Rduke15 03:25, 9 January 2008 (PST)
