"Internet-Enabling a Disk Image

Although all disk images can be transported through the Internet, users need to open them, retrieve their contents, and discard them. An Internet-enabled disk image automates this workflow.

This improves the manual install experience by performing a few tedious tasks for the user. "

Too few devs seems to be aware of this.

Anyway a custom installer for Firefox is a backward idea.
