Firefox Software Updater - UAC Prompt - Normal if automatic install fails?

Hi!

Like the title says, is it normal to call upon the updater.exe under "C:\program files\mozilla firefox" if an automatic update fails to install?

Just went on a limb here and assumed that this was the case, the update log said it failed to apply:

Firefox 132.0.2 (20241110231641) Installed on: 13 November 2024 at 18:52:59 Status: The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)

Current version running: 132.0.2 (64-bit), so I assume that the UAC prompt was a fail-safe of some kind?

Best regards, Kristoffer N
