I would like to get new security updates for Firefox, i dont have Internet connection so the updates must come in some other way.

is it possible to download updates somewhere and then place then on a share on a fileserver and then i can tell Firefox look for updates on this share instead of Internet.

I already use this technic for Windows Defender, i download the definition files and the enable a GPO that tell Defender that all updates are on a fileshare.

Can this be done in Firefox (or something similar?

Hope you understand what i am trying to achieve

Using another computer, Download Firefox Full Version For All Languages And Systems onto a thumb drive. After, plug the thumb into your system. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

I think you missunderstood me, i cant put the installer on a usb drive and then installing on 10 computers. I want this to be made automatically.

If these 10 computers had internet conenction, Firefox will be updated automatically, so therefor i was thinking that it was possible to have the updates files on a fileshare and tell Firefox to go and search on that fileshare instead of internet. Understand?

Yes, you can setup you own update server and point Firefox to it using the AppUpdateURL policy:

https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#appupdateurl

The most important thing when doing this is that your update server should send empty <updates></updates> when there is no update versus invalid XML or an error.
