This is a silent installer and uninstaller for Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7, but it should work with other versions of Firefox, too.

Note the high priority - Firefox should be installed before plugins, like Macromedia Flash Player or Macromedia Authorware Player etc.

As the Firefox install now nicely upgrades and doesnt leave the old one into the registry, there is no need to differentiate versions in package id. When a new version comes out, just replace every occurrence of 1.0.7 with 1.0.8 (for example) and then increment the package revision number. 

<package
       id="firefox"
       name="Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7"
       revision="1"
       reboot="false"
       priority="0">

       <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Mozilla Firefox (1.0.7)" />
 
       <install cmd='"\\server\admin\NON-MSI\firefox\Firefox Setup 1.0.7.exe" -ms'>
        <exit code="0" />
       </install>

       <upgrade cmd='"\\Server\wpkg\pkg\Firefox Setup 1.0.7.exe" -ms'>
        <exit code="0" />
       </upgrade>

       <remove  cmd='%SYSTEMROOT%\UninstallFirefox.exe -ms' />
</package>
