Hi,

this is what I do to have XPIs installed (and silently) activated:

1. Create the file "extensions.js", content follows:

pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 11);
pref("extensions.shownSelectionUI", true);

2. Unpack all .xpi-Files you want to deploy to some folder, the result
should look like this:

/var/cache/wpkg/firefox/addons/:
{25A1388B-6B18-46c3-BEBA-A81915D0DE8F}
{563e4790-7e70-11da-a72b-0800200c9a66}
{6AC85730-7D0F-4de0-B3FA-21142DD85326}
{75CEEE46-9B64-46f8-94BF-54012DE155F0}
firebug at software.joehewitt.com

3. Use wpkg or some other tool, to copy "extension.js" to
"@ProgramFilesDir\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\preferences\extensions.js"
(You might have to create the directory first.)

4. Copy the unpacked .xpi-File-Content to "@ProgramFilesDir\Mozilla
Firefox\extensions"

The result should be that those Extensions are available to all
users on the machine without any user interaction when they start
Firefox.
