Best Way to force firefox update without opening the application
We are currently looking at devices with out-of-date Firefox versions these are listed with vulnerabilities within our environment and need to be patched to the latest version to cover those vulnerabilities.
With the volume of patching required, we want to be able to enable auto-update and allow the application to patch itself.
However, the current options via group policy don't seem to work as I've read on such threads https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1876302.
The application Autoupdate has been enabled within local group policy as a test and nothing seems to force the application to update unless a user enters the application and selects about.
Reading into how Firefox does this it doesn't seem viable to enable an auto-update feature without specifying the version it needs to upgrade to, we can currently patch to specific versions using SCCM.
Is anyone aware of a solution to this problem or another method?
Looked into calling updater.exe and the maintenance service but nothing i successful when trying to call on these.

Make sure you satisfy the requirements for background updates. Use the Proxy policy to ensure it is set to "Use system proxy settings".
You can silently install the latest version using the MSI installer.
