Personally, I like the current setup once I got Puppet going. The reason
is consistent configuration for Windows, Linux and Mac. I wouldn't want
to do 2 or more attempts to apply the same configuration across the
platforms, at that point, I lose a lot of benefit from Firefox.

If finally Mozilla would release an official Firefox MSI package, it
would be good to follow previous comments on the real goals of an MSI
package.
* deploy Firefox through GPO for medium to big structures
* manage Firefox system preferences (default proxy, extensions,
security settings,etc)
* manage Firefox users preferences (homepage, disable profile
migration from IE, etc)
* provide for that a correct set of ADM/ADMX file
* provide a MST Wizard like Microsoft Office'one
Many of us here already have found a workaround to the lack of an
official MSI package, by repackaging it (FrontMotion, custom MSI, third
party tool like WAPT/WPKG/etc.) or using dirty old Batch/VBS/PS scripts.
Personaly I would not be "that relieved" if Mozilla's MSI package would
come out in next months, as we already implemented equivalents doing the
job, however it's always good to get things normalized.
PS : "And Firefox should permit to use the certificates installed in
Windows, like in Internet Explorer." it's already the case using
security.enterprise_roots.enabled

If Mozilla is going to provide msi packages of their products the

which will be part of Windows Installer features, which eventually
define and will be part of the msi package.
+1. In a large organization, it's MUCH more less painfully to
configure Firefox preferences with a Group Policy. This way permits
you to set different configurations for OU/Groups. And Firefox should
permit to use the certificates installed in Windows, like in Internet
Explorer.
