staticdev.firefox

Ansible Role: Firefox

This role installs Firefox from the official PPA repository and can create profiles with extensions. The extensions are installed but need to be activated manually in Firefox.

Note: On Debian, this will remove the ESR version in favor of the more up-to-date releases from the PPA.

Requirements

The requests library must be installed on the remote host to add extensions. The operating system of the remote host is supported; you can check it on ansible-galaxy staticdev/firefox.

Role Variables

Default Directory for Profiles

firefox_home: ~/.mozilla/firefox

Profile Settings

The firefox_profiles is an object where profile names are used as keys. For each profile, you can list the extension names under extensions. These extensions will be installed for that profile. Additionally, you can specify a list of preference key-value pairs under preferences. These settings are specific to each profile and will be saved in the user.js file of the profile.
