Hi Brian,

We push extensions and Firefox installation/updates using WAPT, an open-source solution for software deployment using locally stored packages.

Here is an example of uBlock extensions for Mozilla Firefox package : https://wapt.tranquil.it/package_details?package=tis-firefox-ublock_0.9.8.2-1_all.wapt

It allows you to install the extensions in Program Files silently on the system. It then installs the extension in every user profiles on the computer using Mozilla's mozprofile python library (included in the package).

WAPT can also be used to deploy Mozilla Firefox and profile preferences (proxy, privacy settings, locked prefs, etc), I'll write an article about that in a few days.

Mozilla Firefox ESR package can be found here : https://wapt.tranquil.it/package_details?package=tis-firefox-esr_52.2.0-12_all.wapt

If you want to know more WAPT, visit the official website : https://www.wapt.fr/en/

Regards,

Alexandre

Is it possible to administratively install and enable extensions (specifically 
webex and uBlock Origin) for Firefox ESR 52.2?

  I have determined that I can get the plugin to install  for all users by dropping the 
XPI file of the extension in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla 
Firefox\browser\extensions" however the extension will be disabled until the end 
user manually enables it. Furthermore, if the user attempts to install the same plugin 
for their user profile, installation will silently fail because and the plugin will 
remain disabled.

In our environment we control Firefox updates so updating autoconfig.cfg isn't 
an issue.

Thank you in advance for any guidance.
