Hi, I suggest using this method to install addons on all user profiles :
Copy your extension on "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\extensions\" For firefox x86 on a x64 system based : Copy your extension on "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\extensions\" It is functional until the version 45.5.0 ESR Hesdin AHARCHI Technicien IT Service ICT CIRB Rue des Palais, 42 - 1030 Bruxelles www.spfb.brussels T +32 2 800 80 80 Avertissement A noter !

Thanks for the links regarding XPI install locations! https://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/21/understanding-add-on-scopes/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Installing_extensions https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Mozilla/Adding_extensions_using_the_Windows_registry I’m able to successfully deploy extensions within Firefox (45.4.0 ESR), however I now have a different issue when using this method. I have tried both the ‘appdata’ location as well as the Windows registry location, but the plugins are permanently disabled or deactivated. I am able to circumvent this via 2 preference settings, which I’m sure I can alter via autoconfig, etc: Xpinstall.signatures.required = false Extensions.autoDisableScopes = 0 If I do not do this, then the plugin will refuse to activate, mentioning that it is unsigned. This is strange because should I install the plugin manually as a user directly from the site, it is enabled normally and does not complain about signing. In this particular case it is for Firebug 2.0.18 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/ Would anyone know why I’m unable to verify that the XPI is signed when deploying the add-on, but when navigating to the site and manually installing the plugin there are no issues? I’m pretty sure the plugin is properly signed….

I have a plugin that I have created. (XPI file). I am looking to push to some client machines and install the plugin silently. I have administrative rights on the machines. One way I tried to do this was to create a folder in the ...\browser\extensions folder and name it with the ID of the plugin. Then I unpacked the contents of the XPI file. I restarted the browser and the plugin was installed. However, it is disabled. (I have Enable button available) But I want this to be automatically enabled. Is there any way to make the extension enabled or will the user always have to manually enable it? Thanks Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, in MAC OS I can only get the extension to install but it still prompts me to install. It's like the mozilla.cfg file is not taking effect. Here is where I placed the files: 1)Copied the autoconfig.js file under Applications/firefox.apps/contents/Resources/defaults/pref. autoconfig.js has: // Comments - do not remove this line pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); 2)Copied the mozilla.cfg under Applications/firefox.apps/contents/. Note: I tried putting the mozilla.cfg file in different locations as well. No luck. Mozilla.cfg has: pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 15); pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 0); pref("extensions.enabledAddons", true); Any suggestions?
