Widevine Firefox Plugin
Hello,
I am working to install the widevine.xpi DRM plugin for Firefox and am currently unable to find a way to push this plugin out from our Kbox. How would one go about pushing out a Firefox Extension from the kbox? We are using Firefox ESR 17.10 with Windows 7. Thank you in advance!

Well I have figured out the answer to my own question..
Here is what I did:
I opened the .XPI file in winrar, I then extracted the contents into a new folder. After doing this I opened the insatll.rdf file in notepad+ and found the following line:
<RDF xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:em="http://www.mozilla.org/2004/em-rdf#">
<Description about="urn:mozilla:install-manifest">
<em:id>{2d3fbcf7-be69-4433-8858-c621a8d0e58d}</em:id>
<em:version>6.0.0.12442</em:version>
I then took the em:id = {2d3fbcf7-be69-4433-8858-c621a8d0e58d} and made that the name of the folder containing the files I extracted from the .xpi file
Now to distribute with the Kbox I made the follwoing mods:
I zipped the contents of the extracted .xpi file using winrar and uploaded them into the kbox. I then made a file sync using the zipped contents and set it to place them in the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\{2d3fbcf7-be69-4433-8858-c621a8d0e58d}
and made sure to check the box "Create Location"
The kbox will then push out the zipped files to the selected PC, Create the folder, {2d3fbcf7-be69-4433-8858-c621a8d0e58d} and extract the files to it. Gotta love it! The only thing I would like to do additionaly to this is have it so it does not ask the user enable the plugin when they open firefox but if I figure that out I will be sure to add it to this thread!
