Hello,

 We are currently using Mozilla Firefox ESR version in our Enterprise and have 
plans of hosting our own Firefox update server so that Auto Update feature in 
Firefox grabs the update from our internal source. However, the Auto Update 
feature only gets triggered when Firefox is launched, what we want to do is to 
force the Auto Update component without launching Firefox. I know that you can 
manually install a MAR file via command-line which uses the updater.exe. But 
what we would like to do is to run the Auto Update check via command-line 
instead. The Auto Update feature, I believe runs the Mozilla Maintenance 
Service that goes out to the update server, reads the update.xml file and 
figures out if there's a new update to install and then installs it. This is 
the logic we are trying to leverage since it is already built-in Firefox.



Is there a way to run Auto update/Mozilla Maintenance Service via command-line?



I found the below wiki, but I can't get the command to work to run the Mozilla 
Maintenance Service.

Anybody trying to do the same thing or have any ideas/suggestions?
