What is the command line switch to disable the auto update feature?
We have approximately 300 users and utilize SCCM to push out Firefox. The users do not have Admin rights so they are unable to update to the latest versions when Auto Update notifies them of this new update. How can I disable Auto Update? I know it can be done manually in the browser. Is there a command line switch I can add to the package we deploy that will disable auto update during installation?
Thanks

This isn't a great fix but it's helped us out. We created an autoit script to edit the firefox.js file found in program files\mozilla firefox\default\pref. It searches for the line "pref("app.update.auto", true);" and changes it to "pref("app.update.auto", false);". It's a pain but it's the best we could come up with.
Note: We updated to 3.6.14 and even with the setting above FF still did an auto update to 3.6.15.
