691348 2008-07-23 03:31:00 Is it possible to 'repackage' Firefox with several addons preinstalled, so when I install FF they are already there? I have a set list of addons I install for each client - it's time consuming to install each one individually as I do ATM!

BTW Would this kind of repackaging violate FF's eula?

TIA

The issue isn't with firefox itself (which is GPL) but the non-GPL artwork and trademarks that are normally distributed with it.

Additionally, you'd need to consult the licence for each plugin you want to pre-package.
