I have a number of servers which need firefox updating They do not have internet.

There is one machine that does have internet

How do i get them to point to that server for updates?

FF should have an easy deployment console for rolling out their product.

I saw something about an MAR server however its not clear.

We just have WSUS so cant use that to update like Edge.

No all same version as ive had to do it manually up until now

Short of getting rid of firefox i need a solution to update them all, remotely, in one go if possible

And I assume the other servers can access the one that has internet?

We support setting a custom AppUpdateURL but I'm not sure how to set things up on the server.

I think you would maybe use some sort of proxy configuration to redirect the URLs that are associated with updates to another server.

You can setup a custom update server, but you would still have to download the Firefox updates locally.

This might be a question for our enterprise mailing list to see if anyone else has done something similar:
