I use a File System detection with the following settings.
Type: File
Path: %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox
File or folder name: firefox.exe
Check the box labeled "This file or folder is associated with a 32-bit
application on 64-bit systems".
Choose the option "The file system setting must satisfy the following rule to
indicate the presence of this application"
Property: Version
Operator: Greater than or equal to
Value: 45.0
Obviously you choose the value appropriate to the version you are deploying.

What do you use when using the exe installer, for detection method? For me
when I have an msi, the created detection method, seems to be the most
reliable, I then go back to change the installer to my script or exe (like
Office)

Subject: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Legit Firefox MSI
Hello,
Yes MSI technology is slower than other installation technologies (Inno Setup,
NSIS, etc.) in any environment. Moreover it takes several month to master the
art of creating good msi packages. (Even some Microsoft products are not
delivered with an msi installer...)
For Firefox we do not need repackaging because all the corporate settings are
applied separately by another package. But if we needed repackaging we would
certainly not use msi repackaging.
For all our SCCM packages we create some script that launches the original
installer (silent mode), then our script goes on and applies some corporate
settings. By using the original installer we have a better chance to obtain a
good (and standard) installation or upgrade and we do not spend much time in
repackaging. (Yes some of them are .msi packages, we use them but do not try to
modify them. Some of them have issues with re-installation, repair, upgrades...
Our scripts have to deal with this.)
For Firefox we do not disable the autoupdate: in the ESR branch, autoupdate
only applies security fixes so why would we disable this? (By the way in our
environment the FF auto-update is not efficient: only 50% updated systems after
3 weeks. So we re-deploy the new installation package with SCCM. It updates all
the machines in 3 days, 12000 machines all over the world.)
If we needed to disable autoupdate I suppose we would try installing with a
.ini file containing "MaintenanceService=false" ( see here :
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments ) or figure out some
other way to disable or uninstall it inside our script just after the
installation.)
Hope this will help :)

Could you elaborate a bit that last point? Is msi somehow slower in your
environment than exe? Or did you just mean that you don't need to repackage it?
Do you add or change any prefs in FF using that (like disable autoupdate)?
