Deploy without "Create PDF" Firefox extension on Mac?

Question

I'm using the Acrobat Customization Wizard for Mac and I selected "Disable PDF Rendering in browsers" and also "Enable Feature Lockdown" with a plist file that has cServices>bUpdater disabled. That all works great; the browser plugins are omitted and all the cloud services are disabled.

However, it still installs an extension for Firefox named "Adobe Acrobat DC - Create PDF 15" that asks for permission to be enabled for every new user that opens Firefox. Adobe talks about the extension here. How can I deploy Acrobat DC on a Mac without the extension?

JasonNVSD,

Since you are probably creating a chained installation to get to the latest version of Acrobat DC similar to this video, the way you would do this is as the last event in a Post Install Shell script. What you would need to do in your shell script is to remove everything in the Mozilla Extensions folder at this location:

/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions

Hope that this helps.
