Using Wise Package Studio, captured the Mozilla installer, selecting the desired options. Made adjustments to the Start Menu and install directory to mesh with corporate standards, removed the files captured in the installing account's directory, removed profile-specific INIs. Compiled into an MSI and was able to distribute via Active Directory.

Command Line

I'd like to add to the above, that without any fancy customization you can set all of the default settings by launching "firefox -p" from a command line, creating a new profile located at %PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile, and then copying that profile down to a machine in the same location just after install. This will force firefox to copy your customized profile as the template whenever firefox is launched for the first time.

If you want to apply specific settings for Firefox deployment you need to customize "prefs.js" file in the %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile folder.

Necessary preferences can be taken from http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs or, you can set up installed Firefox yourself and replace "prefs.js" file from %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<number>.default\ with "prefs.js" in Installation directory (mentioned in the beginning).

Deploying a new certificate in Firefox, post installation.

Download NSS Certutil somewhere here: https://developer.mozilla.org/NSS_3.12.4_release_notes

And NSPR: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/release-notes/nspr482.html

Download and copy all the files into folder nsstools.
Copy the *.cer file into the folder.

Make a .cmd file something like this:

rem @echo off
rem this expects NSS certutil, its required libraries and %CACERT%
rem to be in directory %SOFTWARE%\nsstools
set SOFTWARE=\\Server\software
set CACERT=certificate.cer
set CACERTNAME=certificate
set USERSTORAGE="%APPDATA%"

rem test if cert already installed (and copied into appdir)
if exist "%APPDATA%\%CACERT%" goto end

:install
rem copy nsstools with cert to the PC, install for ff
xcopy /S/C/I/Q/Y "%SOFTWARE%\nsstools" "%TEMP%\nsstools"

:ff
if not exist "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" ( echo no Firefox profile found
) else (
for /D %%X in ("%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*") do "%TEMP%\nsstools\certutil" -A -n "%CACERTNAME%" -t "TC,TC,TC" -i "%TEMP%\nsstools\%CACERT%" -d "%%~fX"
)

:postinstall
rem copy cert into users appdir to show we're done and delete nsstools
copy /Y "%SOFTWARE%\nsstools\%CACERT%" "%APPDATA%\%CACERT%"
if exist "%TEMP%\nsstools" del /S/Q "%TEMP%\nsstools"

:end

OK, now edit the -t option or whatever option, to your needs. Info on the certutil application can be found here:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/certutil.html#1034010

Its supposed to work with .crt files also.

To disable the Firefox first run page, create the following file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\user.js

Containing the following line:

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "rv:1.9.2.12");

The above setting gets written by Firefox to the following location when a user's profile is created, so it might change one day (keep an eye on it in case a newer version does something different; I'm using 3.6.12 at time of writing):

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\????????.default\prefs.js

Automatic Update (Background)
=============================

Applies to: Firefox 3.6.x
Tested with: Firefox 3.6.11/3.6.12 on Windows XP Pro 32bit

If you want to use the automatic background update of firefox, consider the following:

Download behavior:
------------------

By default, updates are being downloaded in background in intervals of 24hours and start 10min after browser startup. At this point the updater downloads only a chunk of 300'000 Bytes of an available update to %userprofile%\local settings\application data\mozilla\mozilla firefox\updates\0\update.mar.
It therefore might take a while until the update is completely downloaded and installed, depending on the following factors:

- size of the update
- how often a user launches firefox
- how long a user keeps the browser open

We improved the download/installation behavior on our site by adding the following preference settings (prefs.js).

Required preferences:
---------------------

// enable/overwrite autoupdate settings
user_pref("app.update.auto", true);
user_pref("app.update.autoUpdateEnabled", true);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", true);

// download all background updates at once (instead of DOWNLOAD_CHUNK_SIZE (300KB) each backgroundInterval (10min))
user_pref("app.update.download.backgroundInterval", 0);

// reset background update related timers (enforce update 1min after application start)
user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 0);
user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 0);
user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 0);

// download all updates, ignore compatibility conflicts
user_pref("app.update.mode", 0);

// interval in [ms] to check whether a timer needs to fire (1min)
user_pref("app.update.timer", 60000);

// interval in [s] in which mozilla.org will be checked for updates (24h)
user_pref("app.update.interval", 86400);

// updates will be downloaded silently. installation occurs on next browser restart. no notification to the user about available updates.
user_pref("app.update.silent", true);

With these settings the update will be downloaded 1min after the browser started up and will be installed on next browser startup unattended.

Required privileges:
--------------------

The background updater currently needs adminstrative privileges. To enable the updater to work as a regular user, additional file/registry permissions are necessary.
As a side effect, a regular user (no admin privileges) can uninstall Firefox. In our case this was desired.

privileges added: "Full" privileges to BUILTIN\Users

affected files/folder:

- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Mozilla Firefox.lnk

affected registry locations:

- HKLM\Software\mozilla.org
- HKLM\Software\Mozilla
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (awful, I know)

regards,
Nik

Installing extensions globally and resolving false compatibility errors.

From http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=57251&mpage=1

Packaged Firefox using setup capture and including this add-on here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/51892 (GPO For Firefox) which was installed globally.

I modified the ADM to include extension.checkCompatibility.3.6 and set it to false in the GPO object.

I then had to modify C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\firefox.js and add the line:

pref("extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6", false);
This pref doesn't exist by default so it needs to be specified before the GPO can control it. For those that don't intend to use GPO objects, lockpref() can be used instead to set it in the package.

Note: This approach isn't reccomended if you're not intending to lock down XPI installations, as users will be able to install incompatible extensions.

Note
Further to my previous note, here's a link that explains this particular setting:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone

Instead of a value like "rv:1.9.2.12", set it to "ignore" and users will never get that page, even if you upgrade to a newer version.

Note
Instead of customizing the start page after install, unpack the Firefox Setup 3.x.x.exe using an archiver (Winzip, WinRAR, etc...), find browserconfig.properties in the "localized" folder and set browser.startup.homepage to whatever you want.

Repack the whole thing in a new executable that launches setup.exe when it is opened. I use IExpress for this step.

This website details how to deploy Firefox using SCCM (ConfigMgr).
http://mockbox.net/configmgr-sccm/174-install-and-configure-firefox-silently.html

The process allows you to deploy the package with changes to the default configuration:
-- Sets the proxy server details (example server - proxy.server.local:8080)
-- Disables the 'Automatically check for updates' option
-- Disables the 'Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup' option
-- Changes the download option 'Always ask me where to save files' to enabled.
