moziila tries to install on my machine as an update

I have an issue that I can't seem to sort out.

I am on my work computer where I am not permitted to install Mozilla Firefox. For some reason I keep getting updates via Windows Update for Firefox. Which is a bit strange in itself.

I don't have Firefox installed and have no idea why it keeps asking me to install it via Windows Update. It continues to download updates even though I tell it not to.

Of course the question is why is this even happening?

if you installed and removed/uninstalled the Firefox. its won't remove fully.

follow the steps to remove completely. Turn off the windows updates in Computer Management > Services > Windows update/ Auto update
