[wpkg-users] firefox deployment does not work

[Jon Goldberg]

[Oops - meant to send this to the whole list!]

Hi Roland,

I deploy Firefox with customizations.

First - if you manually copy profiles.js and mozilla.cfg to the
appropriate folders on your computer (while Firefox is closed!), do you
see your customizations?  If not, the problem isn't with wpkg and is
better addressed on the Mozilla forums.

Second - Here is my "firefox customization" package, which is chained to
a clean Firefox package.  Note the file locations, and note that since
Firefox is a 32-bit app, you need to alter the location for 64-bit
systems.  I hope this helps!

Jon
