Every search result shows the FF installer can be started in quiet mode with defaults defined in the FF ini file. However, when calling Firefox Setup 56.0.2-EME.exe from within my batch file, either it complains about not finding the specified ini file - which is utter bollocks, since it is right there with the specified name - or it simply ignores it completely and does its normal thing. Why is that and how do I get it to work as intended?
