Which "About:config" entries need to be configured for FireFox to silently update, regardless of user rights?

I have a FireFox installation package setup for an enterprise environment. I want FireFox to silently install all updates and not notify the end user, regardless of admin rights. So far I've gotten this to work with an admin level user but not a user with limited rights. Here is my config file:

lockPref("app.update.interval", 14400); lockPref("app.update.silent", true); lockPref("app.update.enabled", true); lockPref("app.update.service.enabled", true); lockPref("app.update.auto", true); lockPref("app.update.mode", 0);

Also, does FireFox have to be running in order to check for updates? I thought thats what the maintenance service was for.

Thanks.

Jim

The maintenance service is for downloading in the background while Firefox is running and installing the updates without an UAC dialog .
