Personally I split the firefox xml in 3 steps:
- One to install it
- One to configure all.js (echo the general.config.filename stuff, check with a grep)
- One to copy the config and set some reg keys.

So the configuration is put back if someone change it without the need
to re-install firefox.

By the way, I use a file size check for the config to see if it changed
(for upgrade for example), any plan to add some md5/sha check to wpkg ?

Regards.

NB: I plan to publish my .cmd files as soon as I have the agreement of
my employer.
