Well during my first deployments for the past 2 years or so I uninstalled the
maintenance on purpose, however I've since redeployed the package with the
maintenance service intact.
An easy way to find if updates don't work is to check about, if its disabled
usually once of the lockpref's are set and/or the maintenance is disabled.
What I'll do as a test is rebuild a VM with my standard sccm lab image and
deploy the firefox baseline and leave it open just to see if it will prompt me
to update...
I checked my Mozilla config file and the only settings are the following:
lockPref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 0);
lockPref("datareporting.healthreport.service.enabled", false);
pref("browser.startup.homepage","https://www.google.ca/";);
pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
pref("pdfjs.disabled", true);
pref("plugins.notifyMissingFlash", false);
lockPref("toolkit.crashreporter.enabled", false);
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/toolkit/crash-reporter;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsICrashReporter).submitReports
= false;
Unless I somehow need to specify it OR have more patience and just leave the
browser open and see if it fetches the update.... I mean it DOES fetch them if
I go to about so it's not a network/fw/proxy issue or whatnot...
If the browser is on set interval to check for updates and apply automatically
my only question is how do I speed it up? And check it be triggered like
opening the browser, closing the browser, every hour etc...
I'll have to keep digging.

Subject: RE: Firefox Auto-Update for non-admins
The Maintenance Service, when functioning correctly, shouldn't require admin
privileges to update; it should silently upgrade Firefox in the background for
non-admins, same as Chrome.
It will, however, fall back to running updater.exe directly as the user if
anything goes wrong; so if you're seeing the UAC prompt w/ the service enabled,
there's probably something broken on the machine:

Subject: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox Auto-Update for non-admins
Basically what I would like to do now with SCCM is to set a base version of
Firefox and then once a year I upgrade the package so that if users are not
automatically update sccm will force the upgrade via version detection.
However as it stands, it would seem that if a user goes to about and checks for
update it prompts for the admin credentials... I just want the browser to fetch
the update and prompt the user when its installer to restart the application
like Chrome does.

Hey guys,
Is there any way to let Firefox automatically upgrade for non-admin user
a-la-chrome?!
Previously I disabled the maintenance mode and deployed the updates via SCCM,
but this time around I would prefer leaving maintenance service active and let
users receive the updates ASAP.
Thanks!
Eric
