Hello,
I recently installed a WAPT 1.7.4 server on Debian 10. A Windows 7 PC manages the server administration via the console.
I would like to know if it's possible to deploy a Firefox package on machines where Firefox was manually installed. If so, will the existing configuration be overwritten, and will the Firefox package deployed via WAPT take over?
Regards
[SOLVED]: Firefox deployment

Hello pfera-pw,
The package from the official TIS repository updates if necessary, otherwise it doesn't modify the executable (using the `install_exe_if_needed` function). Regardless of the initial state, it will disable automatic updates (the administrator must approve the update), and other options can be added to the package.
So basically, there's no problem installing the wapt firefox package on an existing network. I encourage you to edit the package to see what it will do (install the tis-pyscripter package, then in the console, right-click on the package and choose "edit")
Sincerely,
Denis
It depends on the package used.pfera-pw wrote: ↑Oct 16, 2019 - 10:05 AM I recently installed a WAPT 1.7.4 server on Debian 10. A Windows 7 PC manages the server administration via the console.

Hello Denis,
I would like the TIS-Firefox package to replace my old Firefox installation, which is up-to-date but not deployed via Wapt. Is this done automatically? How do I ensure the package completely replaces my current Firefox version?

The package will update your Firefox version if it is older than the package version. See https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-create- ... -if-needed
