Installing firefox add-ons using group policy (SBS 2003)

I'm currently installing Firefox using group policy, (MSI installer).

Now i've also got some add-ons that I want default installed with firefox, but only for a certain group of users (our webdevelloppers).

I can't find out though how to do this without completely building an MSI package just for the add-ons.

You cannot install software using GPO unless its in MSI.

MSIs are pretty easy to build:

If you are not up for a MSI, then what  I would consider is shooting out a quick email with links to the exact add-ons page for the install, with a quick note about how good they are and how to install them.

If PatrickAdrichem can explain his work a round (the log on script he referenced in his request)  I wouldn't object to a Refund of points and keeping this so others can learn as well.
