I have installed and configured the maintenance service to silently update firefox. But wether I'm using a limited account or priveledged account the maintenance service fails to run and the updater service prompts for UAC. Please advise how the maintenance service should be configured? thanks

Note: configured on firefox 41.0

You can try to uninstall the maintenance service in the Windows Control Panel and reinstall the maintenance service as a user by running the maintenanceservice_installer.exe file in the Firefox program folder.

Make sure to give the maintenanceservice program permission to run with administrator permission when prompted.
