Background Update
Nessus, Qualys, IBM Big Fix security scans constantly pick up firefox vulnerabilities. What we find is that either users have deleted the Firefox background update task or on servers, it never gets put onto the task scheduler. All other browsers have a channel update in the GPO files that ensure they are kept up to date and never show up in our scans. When will firefox put out similar channel GPOs and quit relying on the differently named task that we can't put into a group policy task scheduler, but constantly find firefox vulnerabilities from users that have deleted it so that group policy does not take effect.

Problem not solved. Of all browsers, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have excellent group policies that ensure that all browsers are kept up to date with current supported channels. Firefox github policies are not so strong and it only supports background updates which users can override and keep browsers from updating. Users are the weak link as long as we let them. There are methods with good GPO admx files to force users to not override corporate policies.
