Firefox update by command
Hello,
I have a question about updating Firefox on Windows. Is there a command that tells the MozillaMaintenance Service (or Updater.exe) to check for updates and if there is a new update, to install it?
When Firefox is started, Firefox also checks for updates automatically or when the user goes to Help -> About Firefox. And that's exactly what I want to start with just one command. Is that possible?
Thanks a lot.

You can only update Firefox from within a browser that is running. Otherwise you would have to download the corect MAR file and apply the update manually yourself.

You need these three files in the updates\0 folder to update Firefox via a MAR file:
update.mar (renamed update partial/complete.mar) update.status: pending + linefeed (0x0A) (use this data URI: data:text/plain,pending%0A) update.version: xx.xx.xx (version to update to, e.g. 50.1.0) In my view there is no any commands for upadte. Thank you.
