ansible-firefox-addon

This Ansible role provides a firefox_addon module for installing or uninstalling Firefox addons.

Requirements

• firefox
• curl
• unzip
• xmllint
• sed

Currently the firefox_addon module has only been tested against Fedora (23) hosts, but in theory should work for all Linux variants.

Arguments

• url: either the addon page url at addons.mozilla.org, or a direct addon xpi url (required)
• profile: path of Firefox profile (optional, defaults to path of profile named default)
• state: one of present, absent (optional, defaults to present)

Notes:

• A Firefox profile named 'default' will be created if it doesn't already exist.
• If the addon is a 'complete theme' addon (and is being installed from the addon page url), it will be set as the selected theme.

Dependencies

This role is just a container for the firefox_addon module, and as such it has no role dependencies.

Installation

Install from Ansible Galaxy by executing the following command:

ansible-galaxy install alzadude.firefox-addon

Please note that the role alzadude.firefox-addon will need to be added to playbooks to make use of the firefox_addon module.

Example Playbook

Save the following configuration into files with the specified names:

playbook.yml:

- hosts: linux-workstation
  sudo: no

  roles:
    - alzadude.firefox-addon

      firefox_addon:
        url: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus
        state: present

hosts:

# Dummy inventory for ansible
