Hi there, regarding MSI installers... EXE Wrappers are crap (as good as they might be from the standpoint of EXE wrappers). With real MSI installers you are able to edit features, files, shortcuts, registry (as you like). With EXE wrappers... Mozilla's installer at least listens to properties, but in most cases they won't. FrontMotion provides real MSI installers for Firefox (almost original, some translation problems) and customized (with own GPO) since years - maybe you can ask there for help. Other projects also deliver valid MSIs (LibreOffice), others try and fail (in my opinion, real MSI but not customizable) like VLC media player. Maybe I should write my own installer for Firefox with every new version instead of waiting for Mozilla to provide one if nobody listens and FrontMotion cannot deliver the desired result in time (isn't really hard, but I only need single language :-)).
GPO support: I asked Mike Kaply a while ago to never remove group policy settings (just add a "deprecated" to the strings), never change the behaviour of existing settings (but maybe the strings describing it) and to only add new settings - what he confirmed. So the group policies should never get into a state where you are not able to configure deprecated settings (removing items is bad as you are not able to configure the settings anymore, but the remain in the configured state. So deprecated settings should remain, but could be ignored by future versions). There was a question about creating empty profiles which can be customized some days ago: I solved it by 1) setting MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES=1 2) creating an empty directory for the new profile (which could be reset on every user's login) 3) put the desired user.js into it (on every user's login) 4) adding the entry to profiles.ini. Et voila, this gives a fresh profile with customized settings. The other files are populated on first login.
