Have a semi-random issue that I've not found a good work-around yet.
Building a Firefox 3.6.3 package today - we're having to lock down
certain features, so making a few tweaks.
The main /Applications/Firefox part is fine, but I'm also adding a
couple of files to the user's /Library/Firefox/Profiles folder.
I used InstallEase, thinking this was a quick & dirty package - I just
needed to install a Users.js file, and a userChrome.css file into each
user's home directory.
Well, it worked fine, except for one issue: Mozilla creates user prefs
in the following directory structure:
~/Library/Firefox/Profiles/<random string.default>/
If the user does not already have an existing profile, it creates a new
one, ignoring the one with the (now) hard-coded folder name from my
installer. If the user already has a profile, it is ignored while the
installer creates a new profile, matching the name to the one I built
the package from.
What is the best way to have the installer place the files into the
existing profiles, for each user on the system, when the name of the
last folder will not be a constant? I can't blow the existing profiles
away without loosing user's bookmarks, etc., so just kind of stumped on
a Friday afternoon.
thanks,
Taylor
