This is a silent installer and uninstaller for Mozilla Firefox 1.5, but it should work with other versions of Firefox, too.
Note the high priority - Firefox should be installed before plugins, like [[Flash Player|Macromedia Adobe Flash Player]] or [[Authorware Player|Macromedia Adobe Authorware Player]] etc.
As the Firefox install installer now nicely upgrades and doesn't leave the old one in the registry, there is no need to differentiate versions in "package id".<br>When a new major version comes out, just replace every occurrence of 1.5 with , for example, 1.5.0.5 (for example) and then increment the package revision number.
Please notice that the uninstall string of Firefox 1.5.0.4 is still 1.5. We don't bump the package version number assuming that minor version upgrade works from FF Firefox itself. If we did, we would force reinstall on the people who already have FF Firefox automagically updated.

== Make Firefox a the default browser ==
This one will set Firefox as the default browser for all users - it will try to start Firefox in the background, which will set itself as the default browser. After 10 seconds, we kill the Firefox process, as it's no longer needed, and repeat the process again to make sure we really did set the default browser to Firefox (it's needed to do it like this in some circumstances). Note that the "taskkill" command exists in Windows XP only(and probably Windows Server 2003) but not Windows 2000.
