Firefox (13-14) is not silently auto updating within limited user accounts..?

Hello.

I'm having an issue with the silent auto update function within an enterprise. We want non admin users to be able to silently auto update with Firefox.

I've done a lot of trouble shooting. The final find is that it works only when I give the users modify rights to the installation directory, which is unacceptable within the enterprise.

Thanks for any good info.

Also, there aren't any maintenance logs created, and at no point, whether user or admin am I prompted with credentials. Without changing the install dir perms, it will only update once it's ran as an admin.

safe mode: tried

disabled addons: tried

all of the about:config settings are correct

Information on the Silent updater and whether it can work on a Limited user account can be found here: Windows Service Silent Update Section 10 contains the information about limited accounts; Section 14 has a few reason as to why it might be disabled, and Section 2 explains how to check if it is turned on.

Thanks. I found all of these during research and unfortunately they do not help with the situation after following all of the recommendations and checking that everything is on and working :/

Thank though.
