- The SFX config file is now generated by the script.

NaJeEb303 · December 14, 2016

Can u make such a thingy for VLC Player ?

Thanks

mooms · December 14, 2016

Why ? What specific configuration is needed with VLC ?

You can always use "generic" SFX maker: http://bfy.tw/91FL

mooms · December 22, 2016

Version 4.2 is out.

What's new:

Added the choice to download latest beta
Tweaked the questions
Optimized the script

Thiersee · December 22, 2016

Hi mooms,

thanks for the new SFX-Maker!

Do you have the possibility to set for the SFX a FF-Icon?

1 question for the How-To in French:

Quote

Profitez-en aussi pour effacer les lignes suivantes :
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20111104165243");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "rv:8.0");

actually is the Firefox-version in that line, not the Gecko-version: is it still necessary to erase that line, even with the FF-version?

Have a very Nice Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Thierse,

You can use resource hacker, that's what I used. You may have to uncompress the sfx module with UPX before (and recompress it after, but it's facultative).

For the question about the custom profile:

I remove every line that is not "generic" (ie relative to the Firefox version, local path, etc...) but that's not mandatory, only cleaner.

The only mandatory thing is to add the line

user_pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 14);

Or the extensions will be disabled.

Have a very Nice Christmas and a Happy New Year too.

Never heard about that tool before . , looks nice . .

Any briefing would be really appreciated . .

Thanks !

mooms · December 31, 2016

It should be self explanatory.

I've not used it since many years, so I can't really help here.

Hello mooms Happy new Year!Pleas could you be more specific,the point is that 1. SFX Maker do not recognize resource haker,and to I have no idea how to change integrate icon in exe file! thanks in advance dude! All the best to all!

mooms · January 3, 2017

Happy new year too, stashmajcherc

Resource Hacker should be used to change the icon in the sfx module (named fx.sfx in the bin folder). I never talked about using it with SFX maker or something.

You can find many tutos for Resource Hacker with a little Google search.

cyberyeye · August 7, 2017

Why don't you post it in Thunderbird-Thread?

There is the @mooms's add-on for Thunderbird....

Edited August 7, 2017 by Thiersee

mooms · August 7, 2017

I've already made a new and improved version of Thunderbird maker, but never released it because it's not as good as I want.

cyberyeye · August 7, 2017

I know but as script version are very different between FF & TB, I though it was better to post here (as my mod is based on latest FF Sfx maker version).

I'll try to adapt FF Sfx Maker to TB, code source need to be reworked a bit for Thunderbird, but I don't know if my batch coding skill is enough to do it.

Edit: crosspost was replying to Thiersee

mooms · November 19, 2017

Version 5.2 is out

What's new:

Corrected a bug with other versions than stable
Reverted to 7za v9.22 to achieve better compression
Showing the Download URL when downloading the setup
Updated Decentraleyes extension

Thiersee · November 19, 2017

Hi mooms,

1) I put in two places a warning because some extensions are no more compatible to FF 57.0.

2) Line 420 (original file) should be "successfully" (my opinion).

Just have a look and decide, if you want to include this warnings.

Hi Thiersee,

1) Not worth it IMO, users of this script are likely to be advanced users and they should already know about the deprecation of the XUL extensions.

Note that I only embedded Web extensions, and only two (the most useful to my opinion: uBlock Origin & DecentralEyes). I've also added user.js and userchrome.css to show some example of customizations for Firefox 57+.

2) Thanks, it will be corrected in the next version.

As always, thank your for your inputs & suggestions.

uBlock Origin is a must have extension for Firefox

Anyway, I forgot an hint:

I modified the line 256 (downloading:......) in two lines, because the showed path was cutted off at the end in my cmd-windows (standard)

echo downloading:
echo "http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-%v1%&os=%v2%&lang=%lng%"

Yes, and Decentraleyes too, it don't need any configuration so you have a better privacy without any cons.

You're right, it's better that way.

Hi mooms,

NoScript version 10.1.1 for FF 57.0 has been released; may be you can embed it too !
