I also use SCCM to deploy applications and have a better success rate with
Firefox than any other software. I find it easier to manage than the standard
version of Firefox. The slower adoption of new features is appreciated by my
users who are not always fans of change.
I use a vbscript to do the install which closes Firefox if it is running and
copies a local-settings.js and mozilla.cfg file to lock some settings. For
detection I use the file system detection and have it check the version of
firefox.exe which has been very successful. You can leave the auto-update
feature of Firefox enabled and still deploy new versions without conflict. This
way your remote users will still update on their own and once on the network
will report back their compliance status to SCCM and update if needed.
If you are using SCCM to do your imaging I would advise against including it in
your gold image but include the install as part of the task sequence instead.
This way you can update the installer or task sequence to avoid deploying
computers with an outdated version of Firefox or having to make a new image for
every Firefox update.

Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] ESR questions
Does ESR make Firefox any easier to manage in the enterprise? I have around
3400 PCs spread throughout the state, some of which don't connect to the
network with any regularity.
Is it difficult to implement? I use SCCM for most software deployments, and we
would also bake it into the gold image that we use.
