can I update mozilla firefox from a local file. I mean, can one installation in a network directory be used, for example, on several computers? Can you use the "Maintenance Service" for this? so that he can indicate the specific path of the magazine.

I want to download the right version, move it to a folder on the NAS. Firefox will download and install the latest version from the local store using the "Maintenance Service" service. I would like to avoid downloading online.

I need help in this subject. Thank you

Well if your don't have permission to install it will not work. If this is company computer they probably block user from installing software on their computers. You should contact the IT department about them updating their Browser to latest version.
