I barely need the zip Files to update the installation of Firefox in my 50
Computer Network!

The Idea to drop the zip Release is the badest idea ever.

There are a lot of admins out there, who have the same problem. 

The zip version was very easy to deploy. The installer is definetly no solution
for our problem!

The installer is good for one or two individual installation. Not for unatteded
installation in an huge network.

Please don´t just add setup switches for unattended installation. This often sucks.

Just put the Actual Release ZIP Files on you FTP Server, or hide it a little bit
on your Website. Maybe drop the "Quality Agent ..." from the zipped version. We,
who are using the zip version, normally know what we are doing!

THE SADEST IDEA EVER! THIS REALLY REALLY SUCKS!

my 2 cents,

Andreas

bring back the zip release

Why the hell, you guys told us this not before?

I had never started to install Firefox and Thunderbird in my LAN.
