Including extensions with your distribution of Firefox
Requires Gecko 2.0(Firefox 4 / Thunderbird 3.3 / SeaMonkey 2.1)Starting with Gecko 2.0 (Firefox 4 / Thunderbird 3.3 / SeaMonkey 2.1), you can easily bundle extensions with your customized Firefox distribution that automatically get installed the first time a user starts up your distribution. This is done each time the user starts up an updated version of your Firefox distribution, unless they've either uninstalled the extension or have a newer version of it already installed.
To do this, simply place the extensions in the distribution/extensions directory in the application's distribution directory.
Note that installing using the regular Firefox installer will remove the distribution directory and any of these extensions that are there to leave a clean Firefox distribution.
