We are trying to avoid the overhead of using a software management tool and the effort of packaging the Firefox install media. That is why we want to leverage the feature of the Auto Update/Mozilla Maintenance Service, to force users that have not launched Firefox, into updating from our internal update server with minimal effort.

AFAIK, no. But you can take a different approach, using a software management tools (SCCM, Puppet, WPKG, ...) to deploy Mozilla updates. -- dott.

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. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Windows_Service_Silent_Update Anybody trying to do the same thing or have any ideas/suggestions?
