114894 - RFE: Save installer settings

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 92357

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Jason Lee]

It sure would be nice if the installer would remember what settings were used
last time.  Then, perhaps using a command-line switch, we could automate an
install.  For example, I don't want to install chatzilla, and I want to enable
the "fast startup" option.  Every time I install (at least once daily :), I have
to click through all the screens, resetting the options.  Back when I had to use
a proxy (at work), that got really tedious.  If these options were remembered, I
could run, say, mozilla-win32-installer /q (the RPMs and a shell script work
great on my Linux box at home) and have it just install like it did last time.

Confirming this as an RFE but I swear this is filed already...

dupe of bug 92357 which is marked WONTFIX...
but I would really like this to get fixed. I hate having to select HTTP download
every time I start the installer...

but bug 92357 actually contains a way to kind of do it. You have to do a lot of
unuserfriendly stuff, but for pros I think it could be done.

It would really really really help if the latest XPI files always was at:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/xpi
