Thank you Marco and Mossroy for your responses, Unfortunately the proposed solutions are not enough for our scenario.
The autoconfig- and copy-methods can automatically install the addon, but all the users still need to manually enable them (unless we did something wrong when testing this). The cck2-option would be fine if we were doing this at our own organization, but we cannot ask all our customers to re-configure their Firefox packaging in order to install our software. Secondly, with our solution we also want to cover existing firefox installations that have been performed outside the control of the IT-department (shadow IT). Ideally, we would like a solution where our agent can install our add-on and enable it automatically without user input on any existing Firefox installation. Primarily on the Windows platform.

Joel Sanderi In chel di` si favelave... I need help on how to silently install and enable a Firefox Add-on within an organization. Probably there's complex answers, but briefly: a) enable 'autoconfig': http://mike.kaply.com/2012/08/29/setting-the-default-firefox-homepage-with-autoconfig/<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmike.kaply.com%2F2012%2F08%2F29%2Fsetting-the-default-firefox-homepage-with-autoconfig%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjoel.sanderi%40snowsoftware.com%7C5bcaddbdc7884cc7756a08d558ecc61a%7Cd76c28a10b62484998fd8cf2516370ce%7C0%7C0%7C636512696317170783&sdata=3WpgRVmoz%2FQx%2Ft6KKTu769wihtvD6925r0fmG8kBAvI%3D&reserved=0> and set scopes of extensions so the 'system' ones get activated by default: pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 8); pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 7); b) copy extensions (unpacked or not, do some tests) on: "%ProgramFiles32%\Mozilla Firefox\browser\extensions\" I found it easier to use CCK2 instead (which handles that nicely, and does many other things) : https://mike.kaply.com/cck2/<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmike.kaply.com%2Fcck2%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjoel.sanderi%40snowsoftware.com%7C5bcaddbdc7884cc7756a08d558ecc61a%7Cd76c28a10b62484998fd8cf2516370ce%7C0%7C0%7C636512696317170783&sdata=HUvDF%2B7NUjpg9wSI2di%2FoaClu4JpTROJg2pF56z%2B3tw%3D&reserved=0> . Install this extension on a Firefox 45 ESR, configure what you want, it will generate some files that you need to deploy in the installation directory of the Firefox you want to customize (it's compatible with any version of Firefox)
