Guyz,

PROBLEM : Firefox Auto Update Disable Situation : I am using Active Directory with Windows 2012 R2 Edition. I logged in with Admin Account of the domain and Disabled "Auto Update" in firefox. But still after 6-7 hours the firefox gets updated it self to a latest version. This occurred twice on the server whenever I have update the Firefox to 33.0

I have added "false" in "pref.js" containing these areas "auto.update.enabled" Any suggestions :

Also, can I push a policy update from Group Policy Manager ?
