[Casper] Firefox Plug-ins

[Ernst, Craig S.]

You also don't need to be stuck with the randomly generated profile name if you build the profile into your package and are filling user templates.

In ~/Library/Application\ Support/FireFox you can edit the profile.ini and change the Path= to whatever you want so it's the same. So I'd use UWEC.default.

Then I'd go into the profiles folder and rename the default one there to match.

This way I now can predict what the path should be later when you want to add-on just an extension or what not. Must be doing Firefox 3? =)

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.
