Sorry I forgot to mention I still am having to run thunderbird 3.1 due to the sogo plugins not supporting thunderbird 5 as of yet. The firefox5 xml file I posted works fine, just cannot get the thunderbird 3.1 one to do right. Once they release the thunderbird 5 sogo plugins I will probably be ok. In the meantime I will have to touch close to 200+ machines manually.<br />

Now that you mention Firefox extensions, I do recall having to add a<br />
step since FF4. You can see it in more detail at the wiki page for<br />
Firefox. Basically you have now have to add a registry key for<br />
globally installed extensions:<br />
<br />
<install cmd="%COMSPEC% /C reg add<br />"HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions" /v %extid% /d<br />"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\%extid%" /f"><br />
