I am building a Firefox 17.0.4 ESR package to use for my Enterprise. Everything is working great except for the updater piece. I am using the configuration.ini file during the install with the command MaintenanceService=true turned on, and a mozilla.cfg file with updates enabled, pref("app.update.enabled", true). I am running the install both manually, and through SCCM with Admin rights, including the maintenance service. After the install runs, I open Firefox as a limited user and go to Help->About, and it says Updates are available at www.firefox.com, and that the browser is set to the ESR release channel.

In all my troubleshooting, the only 2 sure ways I have found that make the auto updates work for a user were to run firefox.exe as an admin 1 time, or to install the base esr package as an admin after my install package. That will fix it for the logged in user only, but another user would run into the same issue. It appears that something is not installing correctly, but I cannot determine the cause.

My install command is: Firefox Setup 17.0.3esr.exe /INI=%INST%\Configuration.ini

hello, at the moment the mozilla maintenance service won't allow users with limited rights to perform an update (but it will probably be implemented at a later stage) - currently the service is only used to avoid the UAC popups on every update.

In my organization, we have removed Admin rights from all users, but use a product that can elevate any .exe with create a policy for to run with Admin rights. We have a policy set for updater.exe and it does work for future updates, just not this first update after install until Firefox itself is run as Admin for the first time. My thought is that when Firefox and the Maintenance service are installed with Admin rights through SCCM, the maintenance service should have inherited rights from that install. Forgive me if I am wrong in my conclusion.
