we utilize sccm for all software updates and deployments. is there something we can package or script out for firefox to disable the auto update feature in firefox. I have tested the below but am coming up short:

I have the .exe and configuration.ini file containing the below:

MaintenanceService=false // disable updater lockPref("app.update.enabled", false); // make absolutely sure it is really off lockPref("app.update.auto", false)' lockPref("app.update.mode", 0)' lockPref("app.update.service.enabled", false);

I then have an install.bat that points to the .exe with Firefox Setup 35.0.exe /INI=configuration.ini

or perhaps there are switches I can add manually in the command line install like the -ms

thanks

If you are deploying for many users? I'd suggest you check out Firefox ESR, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ which lets you only update major versions once a year but still keep your users secure. There is also a mailing list that will help you deploy Firefox.
