Additionally, if one tries to edit the later parts of the config.ini to prevent certain dialog boxes from being shown anyway, numerous problems result (in particular, turning off most things seems to produce a successful installation, but if the finish dialog box is turned off (to prevent the user having to click anything) then the installer hangs. Various combinations of on/off in that file produce undesired behavior, but no combination produces the desired behavior (an unattended install.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit config.ini - change Run Mode to "Auto" or "Silent" 2. Run setup.exe 3. Marvel at how you are being asked for path verification even though you selected auto or silent. Actual Results: Firefox prompted me for a path confirmation, even though I had asked it to do an unattended install. Expected Results: Installed the software using default values set in config.ini like Seamonkey did/does.
