How can I silently uninstall the Mozilla Maintenance Service?

more options

We have it on many computers in our environment and manual uninstalls are not feasible. I can install/uninstall Firefox itself silently, but the maintenance service does not use the Windows MSI installer so command line switches like "/s" and "-ms" have no effect.

Hi rockopete, please ignore the spam message promoting an unofficial phone number.

(Sorry, I don't know how to separately remove the service.)
