==Instructions==
1. Verify that the '''firefox''' path is pointing to the right Firefox instance on your system.
* You will hit a zero division error and some other errors if you don't point it to the right path
2. '''preferences''':
* If you don't have '''preferences''', change to: <pre>preferences : {}</pre> (make sure there is a space between ":" and "{" or else it will cause a syntax error)
* If you do have '''preferences''', refer to [[sample.config]]
3. '''extensions''':
* If you don't have '''extensions''' to install, change to: <pre>extensions: {}</pre> (make sure there is a space between ":" and "{" or else it will cause a syntax error)
* If you do have '''extensions''' to install, refer to this sample:
<pre>
extensions:
# Make sure that the path is directed to the desired location of the extension
# Need quotes around guid because of curly braces
"{12345678-1234-1234-1234-abcd12345678}" : c:\path\to\unzipped\xpi
foo@sample.com : c:\path\to\other\unzipped\xpi
</pre>
* Make sure that the path to the extension is right
4. Change '''filename''' and '''title''' to whatever you desire
**You might run into this message on your browser: '''This page should close Firefox. If it does not, please make sure that the dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows preference is set to true in about:config'''
