Comment: I LOVE IT Ideas: Hey can you make a script to install extensions without manually selecting anything?
Glad you like the script.I have been tring to do what you want but I can't get anything to work.I don't beleve there is a way for firefox to silently install extensions from the commandline,but the --h is thin on info tho.If there was this would probly be easy.The commandline could look something like this. /opt/mozilla/firefox/firefox -extinstall-silent /path/to/extensions/*.xpi It would go thru all the extensions in the folder and install them without poping up a window.

Also, use of predictable filenames in /tmp is dangerous. You may want to use ~/tmp or `tempfile' instead. <b>Use of [code ] ... [/code ] in a post will save any formatting, keeping it pretty. </b>
Using the code thing messes up my script, about 20 lines get cut in half. <b>Also, use of predictable filenames in /tmp is dangerous.

If someone can predict a file in /tmp, they can create a symlink from another file on the system to that, then when you run the script, it's possible to overwrite the other file. If you check <a href="http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1">bugtraq</a>, you'll see stuff like this crop up now and again.
Was rm -f /tmp/firefox-yadda.tar.gz always there or did you add that recently? Maybe I missed it before and have just been blabbing on about stuff that doesn't even matter. ![]() Also, you could add
just in case someone doesn't have that directory (or just use /root), which they probably won't. 'course I figure most people who use your script will understand what's going on.
The remove rm -f /tmp/firefox-yadda.tar.gz was always there at the begining of the script and at end of each install fork.Thanks for telling me about that symlink thing tho,never thought about that before. I thought a tmp dir in your user dir was normal.XMMS,Xfce,even OpenOffice both put stuff in ~/tmp/ when running. Linux Install Script

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... highlight= Mozilla Released a new Offical Version of Firefox.Link updated in the script.I added the nightly trunk as a install option.Trunk is not recommanded for random people to install.It will be outdated compared to Aviery till after 1.0. when they will sync 1.0 and trunk(atleast to my knowledge).Then all new things will be in trunk agian.
