I am deploying Firefox ESR with a .msi extension. The more I read it seems I should be doing it different. Is there a guide to set Firefox and deploy/package it using configuration manager. I found different ways to do this on the web. I would like to do it the correct way. The last time I created a install.bat, local-settings.js, mozilla.cfg, and override.ini file to package which did not work. Since I am new to this it would be nice to have some screen shots and clear instructions to follow. I did look at the URL: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig but it gets vague about how to customize the core files. I also went to this URL: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig. Still needs some input. Thanks

Mozilla does not currently produce an MSI.

Starting with Firefox 60, we will be offering Group Policy support which is the best way to configure Firefox.

I'll see about updating the Autoconfig information.
