Check your detections rules anyway... if you want to use supersedence, you
generally need exact detection rules. If you are using something like
"versión < 45" it might happen that you will be detecting the wrong thing.

Anyway, unless you have really good reasons to uninstall the previous
version, I would just avoid supersedence for Firefox. It's painful to
manage and in the case of Firefox I think it doesn't give you any added
value to remove the previous version, as the upgrade of the already
installed application is done fine. In this case, you just set a detection
rule of the type "version > 45.3" for your new deployment, and everything
works like a charm.

Unfortunately, for other software (i.e. Java) you have to remove the old
one and then you have to play with supersedence.
