ansible-role-firefox's Issues

Make a way to select the profile ?

Hi

Using this in my ansible install script for my computers, it would be neat if there would be an option to automatically select the profile created when Firefox was never ran. It seems like if you run this script with no ~/.mozilla (Clean install) then you start firefox, it generates another profile instead of using the one created.

It would be useful to either:

  • Run with the created profile (Not sure but it seems that it's the installs.ini that takes care of this
  • Let me change the StartWithLastProfile to 0 so that I don't have to run Firefox from the command line first to select my profile
  • Return the profile path so that I can store it and do this myself

Anyway, thanks for the role its quite useful !

Feature Request: Add variable to disable install and only configure profiles

Thanks for maintaining the great role!

Would you be open to adding a variable to parameterize whether this role manages the install? I find configure_profile.yml super useful, and would love it if the role had a way to easily only run that. I would think putting in a variable like firefox_install with a default of true shouldn't impact the functionality for existing users.

- name: Configure profiles

Change from prefs.js to user.js

When I run a playbook with Firefox closed, it changes prefs.js.
But as soon as I relaunch Firefox, all changes are gone.
Using user.js would resolve this problem!

We should listen to Mozilla's message in prefs.js!

// Mozilla User Preferences

// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.
//
// If you make changes to this file while the application is running,
// the changes will be overwritten when the application exits.
//
// To change a preference value, you can either:
// - modify it via the UI (e.g. via about:config in the browser); or
// - set it within a user.js file in your profile.

There are many popular user.js'

and I would like to use staticdev.firefox to "install" and maybe even update one of them and then apply my custom changes. In this way I'm guaranteed to have the latest version of my favorite user.js with my tweaks.
