Auto update on Win 2012 R2
hi, auto update doesn't seem to work on Win 2012 R2 server. (used as Workstation) Firefox ESR 24.6.0 and I would expect an update to ESR 31 or at least to 24.8.
Did enable app.update.log and here the URL it checked which show no update available. https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/3/Firefox/24.6.0/20140609182057/WINNT_x86-msvc/en-US/esr/Windows_NT%206.3.0.0%20(x64)/default/default/update.xml?force=1
Any idea why? should I file a bug?
Chosen solution
Nick from ESR team clarified: The updates from 24.x.y to 31.2.0 were disabled because of crashes on startup in some situations. They'll be enabled again once 31.3.0 ships, which is scheduled for Dec 1. There are no known issues with the update server configuration.

same on a Win 2012 box with 24.8.0 ESR
Here the URL from log. https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/3/Firefox/24.8.0/20140825140210/WINNT_x86-msvc/en-US/esr/Windows_NT%206.2.0.0%20(x64)/default/default/update.xml?force=1
This should be fixed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=996139

If there is further troubleshooting needed, the ESR working group is a good place to ask the experts as well.
thanks, I don't have a C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.cfg file at all, so no restriction there.
here the log: [15:46:47.957] [Exception...

It seems as the list (https://mxr.mozilla.org/firefox/source/webtools/aus/xml/inc/config-dist.php) need to be fixed but not sure. (as the URL reports: number of updates available: 0)
sorry for the format but couldn't format the log to show nicely.
Hi, manual change the url from ESR to releasetest it show me a update available.
Make me believe the "https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/webtools/aus/xml/inc/config-dist.php" has a issue. But just guessing.
