When you install Firefox using this tool and select to set Firefox as the Default Browser. The script runs this command "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser". This runs as the current user and creates a profile for that user, it does not create a profile for the user that profile was copied from. There is no way, that I can think of, that you can create a profile for AllUsers. You used to able install extensions as "Global", the Gecko has removed this option. If, after you finish as Unattended Install, you create a new user, then re-run the command "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser". I could create a shortcut in the AllUsers Start Menu that would have this command available and add that to the script. But, at the moment, I can not think of another way to do. I hope this helps. ***EDIT*** I have just read a post here, that would make it possible to automatically create a Profile for any new user., I do not think that it would also set Firefox as the Default Browser, though. I will see if I can add files to the DefaultUser profile. If I can, then will try to add it into the script. Thanks

That was the idea. The gui is the CSS page. ***EDIT*** Is my HTML and CSS that poorly written, that it could not be understood? I am a novice at both.

Could you send me the logs? Thanks

I guess no one is interested. The contest is closed.

Update Posted v0.714 I found a couple of bugs that occur on non-english installs of Firefox. Also, I have removed the Adobe Flash installer and Adobe Shockwave Installer. Since, they can be downloaded directly from Adobe. Once downloaded, they are stored in the Files folder along with the Firefox installers, so they can be re-used if they still exist. Firefox 3.6 has made a security change to their plugins and components folders. NO files other than those shipped with Firefox will be allowed to run from within the components folder. So, if you use Firefox 3.6 and beyond, WGA and OGA, RealPlayer and RealPlayer Alternative, Quicktime and Quicktime Alternative are affected. WGA and OGA will not work as shipped by M$. The others may work if they are properly installed. v0.714 - 12-26-09 -changed script for checking version for saved file -removed pluginreg.dat from files watched - it has hard coded paths and is included with plugins. it is created on first run -fixed copies compreg.dat(automatically regenerated as needed), found some systems have copy in the compoments folder -changed installation order, moved shockwave and flash before setting firefox as default and creation of profile -added dynamic creation of plugins.txt file for future releases of Firefox, where the contents may differ -discovered reason for some plugins not working properly with 3.6 (http://lwn.net/Articles/363568/) - this may be backported to 3.5 -for now, any plugin that installs file into the components folder do not work in 3.6. This includes WGA and OGA, RealPlayer and RealPlayer Alternative, Quicktime and Quicktime Alternative. -for Firefox Version 3.6, I have disabled plugins that install files to the components folder, until those plugins are updated for Firefox 3.6. This includes WGA and OGA, RealPlayer and RealPlayer Alternative. -no longer copying all of the components amd plugins if the file is part of the installation of one of the included plugins, regardless if the plugin is selected or not. I am looking for installers to include and replace the plugins. -fixed Firefox Versions spans to correct css hover style after updating links -fixed path for filecopy of Quicktime Alternative -no longer including Flash Player Installer -no longer including Shockwave (slim) Player Installer -added option for Shockwave (full) Player -added Silverlight Plugin installer , when the download location changes, it will download from Sourceforge.net, notifying me to update the script to new path

I have just finished creating a simple (not professional) video on how to use Firefox Addon Maker. I hope it helps you if you needed it. I am open to suggestions for making the video better and\or provide more information. The video is available from Sourceforge.net. Please, this is my first attempt at creating a how-to video and I agree that it is not the best. ~Jonnyboy

Update Posted v0.710 This update is much larger because I am now including the flash installer and the shockwave slim installer. Both files are dynamically updated to the current file whenever the version changes. I also added "Pin to Start Menu" for Win7 users. v0.710 - 12-17-09 -fixed shortcut creation -added Pin to Start Menu for Win7 users - in all languages previously included for Pin To TaskBar -made it possible to remove additional icon sets(smaller download for users that don't use the custom icons) -additional icons in future releases will be in a separate file(place them in the same folder as Firefox Addon Maker) -inclusion of additional icon sets is dynamic, add your own icons in the same format as the default icon set -inclusion of additional style sheets is dynamic, add your own styles in the same format as the default and name it style01.css through style10.css -removed Flash plugins and added Flash Installer, this dynamically updates to current version when user updates links -removed Shockwave plugins and added Shockwave Slim Installer, this dynamically updates to current version when user updates links -fixed bug when load saved settings, the saved version number would be loaded

DaRk MaDnEsS: Thanks

I am holding a contest for best theme. You could win $50.00 gift card or a $50.00 donation to WinCert.com. Contest Information

Update Posted v0.7091 v0.7091 - 12-14-09 -fixed Black & Red icon set -fixed typo in writing install.ini, if DestinationPath was not in %ProgramFiles% would cause error

The Install Path or DestinationPath is "where" you want to install firefox to, when you run the installer, not where you want to put the installer once it is created. The installer will be created wherever you run the script from.

Update Posted v0.709 v0.709 - 12-13-09 -fixed bug that if user checks Use Custom Icon and does not select an icon, then no icon will be resource hacked -fixed bug with css causing layout to shift left -added Black & Red icon set

Send me the logs, please. Thanks

Folks, I am offering a $50.00 gift card or a $50.00 donation to WinCert.com made in your name to the winner of the best theme created for Firefox Addon Maker. The rules are simple. The only file that you can edit is the default.css file and you can add your own image. X-rated images are not allowed. There are no limits to how many entries to can submit. Post the links to those 2 files in this topic and then I will create a poll. The winner of the poll is the winner of the contest. I have not set a deadline, yet. But, I will in a few days. I am leaning towards 30 days for submission and 10 days for poll. Everything in the hta\html file is configured by the style sheet. I hope to see some exciting themes.

Sorry I'm so late, but Happy Birthday. ~Jonnyboy

As always, you are dead on. The script is 1100x700 px. I'll see if I can reduce the size on smaller screens. Thanks DaRk MaDnEsS

Before I post the next update, I would to know if you prefer completely silent, silent installers. Or, would prefer some kind of visual queue. Their is a poll in the first post. Thanks

update posted v0.707 Remember, if running in Vista or Win7 and UAC has not been disabled, then you must run as administrator. if you are interested in assisting in bug testing please PM me. Thanks v0.707 - 12-11-09 -removed various string\integer bugs -removed several global variables -added more error checking and validation -added more logging to help track down bugs -fixed several bugs -added delay during firefox installation to allow profile creation to complete before continuing -removed intLen routine -added option to view detailed log and set no details as default -fixed bug not recognizing a corrupt or incomplete download by adding script to get 7-zip extraction error codes to verify proper extraction - if error code 2, the file is deleted and downloaded again -updated Adobe Flash Player to version 10.0.42.34 -added SendKeys to refresh the screen after deleting the shortcuts -fixed overwriting of some newer componenets and modules files with older versions, now only copies components and modules that do not exist in the version you are creating -added script to remove installer created shortcuts when uninstalling - only removes shortcuts created by the installer - Works for all shortcuts except 'User Pinned' -added slavok, polish and spanish strings for 'Pin to Taskbar'

Alright, I have asked this before and received no support. So, I'm asking again. I really dislike having to post an update just so that I can get someone to tell me of a bug they have found. I need some volunteers to join me and bug test each version, before I make it public. This will reduce the number of errors in the public releases. If you value this script and you have a little free time, please PM for the details. Thanks
