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 Macromedia Flash Player or Macromedia Authorware Player etc.
As the Firefox install now nicely upgrades and doesn't leave the old one in the registry, there is no need to differentiate versions in package id. When a new major version comes out, just replace every occurrence of 1.5 with 1.5.1 (for example) and then increment the package revision number.
Please notice that the uninstall string of 1.5.0.1 is still 1.5. We dont bump the package version number assuming that minor version upgrade works from FF itself. If we did, we would force reinstall on the people who already have FF automagically updated.
