We are considering allowing Firefox in our 5000 user hospital and are currently all Internet Exploder. None of our users are admins on the hospital systems so, is it possible to push updates to windows 7/8 systems? I am not looking for help doing the push, just wanting to know if the updates available for download as MSI or EXE?

You can also look into the Enterprise mailing list, there are more resources there for help with deploying an enterprise level Firefox install.

hello, since version 26 firefox is able to auto-update on windows even for non-admin users (when the mozilla maintenance service is getting installed in the original configuration): http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/26.0/releasenotes/#whatsnew

those would be the auto-updates provided by mozilla directly - so i'm not sure if this is something that would fit in your environment. installing the .exe file of a new version (available at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/) on top of an older version will also update the program.
