Firefox Auto-Update not working
To whom it may concern
I am testing the autoupdate on one of my vm`s and I cannot configure what we need.
Goal: - We would like to update firefox esr yearly with a package through sccm. - After installation or after first startup, firefox should imediately update to newest version - From then, firefox esr should installed newest version as soon as available and check daily for a new version
My Config:
// Enable updater lockPref("app.update.enabled", true); lockPref("app.update.auto", true); lockPref("app.update.mode", 0); lockPref("app.update.service.enabled", true); lockPref("app.update.silent", true); lockPref("app.update.timerFirstInterval", 60); lockPref("app.update.promptWaitTime", 60); lockPref("app.update.download.backgroundinterval", 0); lockPref("app.update.doorhanger", false); lockPref("app.update.disable_button.showUpdateHistory", false);
The config file was implemented. I could see the changes in about:config, but if I today distribute version 78.7.1 with the above config file, firefox esr does not automatically update to the newest version 78.8.0. Only if I open the settings or the help about.
What am I missing? How can I achieve that firefox will update silently(without user intervention) imediately to newest version after install and update regularly to newest version?
Regards, Jonas

You shouldn't need to change anything for autoupdate to work - it works by default.
How quickly do you get an update if you don't change anything?

I installed Firefox Firefox Setup 78.7.1esr.exe (fileversion 18.5.0.0) on the 1st March, but no update yet. No config file or something else was added. It only updates manually if I check the file version. The only thing which may be different to other installations. I was running a previous installation on that system before. I will use a plain vm to test again.
That's odd, there must be something blocking the update.
Is anything set in about:policies?
Does it update if you open the about dialog?
