Step 1: Download the appropriate installation file from Mozilla

http://www.mozilla.com

Step 2: Choose your installation options

Silent install instructions can be found on the Mozilla Wiki.

If you wish to use the default settings for Firefox (including the install directory and user options), you can just use the silent option (must be uppercase):

/S (note: as of Firefox 3.6.3 the /S option has not worked. The deprecated option, -ms, works as of 3.6.8 but its use is not recommended. Use the /INI option instead.)

In order to customize the installation to your environment, you need to create an INI file which will be referenced during the install. This is an example INI file:

[Install]
InstallDirectoryName=Mozilla Firefox
CloseAppNoPrompt=true
QuickLaunchShortcut=true
DesktopShortcut=false
StartMenuShortcuts=true
StartMenuDirectoryName=Firefox

The above example would cause Firefox to be deployed in the Program Files directory in a directory called Mozilla Firefox and a Firefox icon will be placed in the Quick Launch and Start Menu under the directory Firefox. Using this example a shortcut would NOT be placed on the Desktop.

To use the INI file, copy it onto a file share accessible from the target computers and use the following option:

/INI=\\Scranton\Deploy\Firefox\Firefox.ini

Step 3: Select computers to receive deployment

Step 4: Deploy

After verfiying your deployment properties in the Summary pane, push the Deploy Now button. Firefox will take a few minutes to install, depending on the speed of the computers and the network connection.
