Well I got it working, as stated by other members it should just worked. On a cleanly imaged machine the update went in just fine without admin...
So to refresh everyone on the next deployment I'll simply uninstall the browser and kill the Mozilla HKLM keys (which worked during my test as a POC). After I killed the keys and proceeded with the update to 3.5 and went to about the update was detected and installed. Case closed :) From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Periard Sent: Friday, January 08, 2016 8:46 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox Auto-Update for non-admins 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. Éric S.

[mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2016 2:33 PM To: Eric Periard; '[email protected]' 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: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Windows_Service_Silent_Update From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Periard Sent: Thursday, January 7, 2016 11:17 AM To: '[email protected]' 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. Eric From: Eric Periard Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2016 2:14 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Firefox Auto-Update for non-admins 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!
