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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.
