Our organization requires web services with many plugins. In order to support the latest browsers, we must deploy FF13 company wide. Currently the installation disables all 3rd party plugins by default, requiring you to enable them manually. Therefore, this makes managing a FF13 deployment very difficult. Is there any way to configure it to deploy without it disabling plugins?

Do you really mean plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) or do you mean extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?

Firefox shouldn't disable plugins unless they are blacklisted, but will display a dialog that shows which (third-party) extensions are found an allow to enable third party extensions.
There is probably no way to avoid such an alert, but you can try to copy extensions to the distribution/extensions folder where also the default theme resides.

yes i meant Extensions. Thanks for the quick reply, i will give this a shot.

This did not solve my issue as users are still prompted that the extension is disabled by default. One of them is Symantec intrusion detection.

I'm not aware of a way to prevent Firefox from disabling extensions in a new profile.

lockPref("xpinstall.enabled", false);


this is what you want in your cfg file to block extension installs
