Chosen solution

I use an .INI configuration file to specify the installation directory.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments has more information about the process.

1. Create a text file called firefox.ini

2. Add the following line and save the file

InstallDirectoryPath=x:\whatever\directory\you\want

3. The command to run a silent install using the INI file you just created would be.

firefox.exe /INI=c:\wherever\firefox.ini

Let me know how you go.
