How can I enable an extension for all users in my environment without having to go to each individual machine and do it manually?

I have installed an application for the users in our company via SCCM, and this application adds an extension into Firefox. By default, the application prompts the users to "Enable" once they open firefox for the first time post-installation. I do NOT want this to occur, as we have about 400 users in the company, and this would result in about 300 help desk calls.

To get around the pop-up, I followed these instructions:

https://www.ghacks.net/2007/11/12/install-firefox-add-ons-for-all-users/

This worked great, however, it adds the extension with a default value of "Disabled".

My question is, is there a way to enable this extension for ALL users without having to manually enable it on every machine?

Thanks!

Disregard that -- please sign up for the ESR mailing list: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/

Enabling one addon for an entire group needs to be done with an admin tool.

What is the admin tool that is required? We already push the ESR version of firefox.

Late to ask but if you notice Win7 doesn't run FFx64 very good this is something I think that is being missed here. I do know 32bit version work on Win7 and below but using a x64 on Win7 is trouble shooting at best.

MKII, I have requested to sign up for the mailing list via the website. What do I do from there?

WestEnd, We are fully transitioned to Win10. No device in our org. runs Win7.

Firefox x64 is the default on all versions of Windows which are 64 bit starting with 56.0.1 -- if you need further help please contact one of the admins on #sumo on IRC. Server: irc.mozilla.org
