This location worked, thank you! I didn’t know about that directory. 
I simply had to create the directory tree as the “distribution\extension\” 
folders did not previously exist.

Thanks,

    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

    Objet : Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Silently Installing Add-ons/ .xpi ?
    
    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….
    
    Thanks,

        Hello,
    
        I hope this is the right place to ask this question. 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

        Check the values of 'extensions.autoDisableScopes' and '
        extensions.enabledScopes' in preferences and update your mozilla.cfg 
file
        to set them correctly on startup.

        Hello,
        Is it possible to silently install an XPI add-on to an existing Firefox 
installation without re deploying another cck2.cfg, etc? This would be for both 
a Windows and a Mac.

            The absolutely fastest way to manage ALL areas of Firefox for your 
Enterprise (3000 systems), including driving (and revoking) certificates 
directly into the FF cert store... would be PolicyPak. Videos are all here: 
http://www.policypak.com/products/manage-mozilla-firefox-with-group-policy.html
    
    
    
            The specific one you want is video #2.
    
            We can deliver certs, and literally almost everything else you 
would need to do: Bookmarks, manage Add-ons, change the Search Engine.. 
Everything... for already-installed Firefox "out there."

        Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] Installing extensions on MAC OS silently
        Message-ID: <[email protected]>
        Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
    
        Hello,
    
    
    
        I have successfully installed Firefox extensions as enabled on Windows 
OS
        using the autoconfig.js in conjunction with mozilla.cfg. 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?
    
    
    
        Thanks
    
        Danny
