The other 5% of the time they make accomplishing a less naive task more difficult (or occasionally impossible). Since ESR installers are presumably not naive, and since ESR is meant for site-wide deployment, why is this sort of "help" even considered? What I use to download Firefox ESR is a BASH script which takes the version number and then downloads all the current language-specific ESRs (Linux and Windows, 32-bit and 64-bit), plus the SHA512 checksum files from "https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/"; into a standard place, renaming the files a bit to "clean them up". Then I run a related script to verify the checksums. (I also do the equivalent for new Thunderbird versions, although its ESR is no more.) I can provide these scripts if anyone is interested. (I would imagine they could serve as models for Windows PowerShell scripts as well.)

Using https://mike.kaply.com/cck2/ is probably the easiest way to do that. It will also allow you to customize many other things in Firefox.

This is what I do to achieve this: %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Mozilla firefox\browser\defaults\preferences\autoconfig.js // Specify the name of the Autoconfig file pref('general.config.filename', 'firefox.cfg'); // Don't byte shift the autoconfig file (by default it is ROT13 in Firefox, nothing in Thunderbird) pref('general.config.obscure_value', 0); %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Mozilla firefox\firefox.cfg // Don't automatically disable our bundled extensions in the Firefox extensions directory pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 3); pref("app.update.log", true); 1 (SCOPE_PROFILE) This is the profile scope. This means any add-on that is in the current profile directory. 2 (SCOPE_USER) This is the user scope. This means any add-on that is referenced by the current USER?s registry entry or any add-on that is in the user?s extensions directory. 4 (SCOPE_APPLICATION) - This is the application scope. This means any add-on that is in the extensions directory where the executable is located." is Firefox's extension directory. 8 (SCOPE_SYSTEM) - This is the system scope. This means any add-on that is referenced by a SYSTEM/MACHINE registry entry or any add-on that is in the system's extensions directory. Windows does not have a system extension directory. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Installing_extensions http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/21/understanding-add-on-scopes/ http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2320715&start=15 > 1.
