disable auto update via sccm
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.
