== Firefox 3.6+ and Extension Installation Files ==
Here are the command files listed for [[Firefox#Firefox_Extension_Templates]]. The idea comes from [[http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1724155] Mozilla Forum Discussion] and the files are adapted from [[http://flabdablet.nfshost.com/windows-scripts/install-extensions.cmd] install_extensions.cmd].
Be sure to
* put 7zip into packages\mozilla\7-Zip\
* adjust the local path (here: C:\NETINST) if needed
* have the right directory tree

:: Mozilla extension installation demo script for Firefox and Thunderbird versions
