I just use composer and build a new package all together, configure and
secure the add ons I want and take a final snap shot, then add in a pre
install script to remove all previous settings of firefox

rm -rf /Applications/FireFox.app

rm -rf /Users/*/Application\ Support/Firefox

Once those folders are removed you can deploy a nice new clean package. 
 I did this last school and upgraded from firefox 1.x to firefox 2.x and
it worked just fine.

Does anyone know how to install plug-ins (Add-ons) for Firefox using  
Casper?  It seems like the path that Firefox uses to store the plug- 
ins is: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/ 
xxxxxxxx.default/extensions/ [where: xxxxxxx = randomly generated  
alpha-numeric string] The fact that it is randomly generated for each  
user makes the mass deployment seemingly impossible.

Thanks,
