I spent a good deal of time fighting with this one tonight. I saw that bug Paul, and read up some on some other sites. Seems that folks are repackaging this until the installer is fixed. I was able to get it to run almost completely silent.
* Download the installer package * Start the installation * Let it hang on the first screen * Grab the setup directory from my temp folder * Cancel the installation * Push that directory out to packages * Edit the config.ini in several places - to silence the install location screen and the download screen * Run setup.exe with the -ma -ira switches * You get install progress screen but it doesn't require input * Left with only the "Installation Finished" screen, wanting a click on "Finish" I attempted to comment out the section that displays the finish screen but the install just sits there. Frustrating but they seem to have escalated it for the 1.0 release of FireFox. At this point you could AutoIt I guess. Just one click. If anyone is interested I can put that together with my edited config.ini and post them.
