Our users do not have admin rights on their systems so FireFox is WAY out of date. I read about the Maintenance Service in the wiki and hoped it might allow FireFox to update itself without admin rights. I installed v21 and FireFox does not update itself so I am not sure what to make of things. In fact, it does not even seem to try since click in on Help, About shows "Updates available at http://www.firefox.com"

I have seen some postings indicating others have experienced similar issues with not being able to update as "users", but no solution. I really do NOT want to require our folks use Chrome, which works without any users given its design. Suggestions?

The maintenance service can only be installed by someone that has administrator permissions (you get an UAC alert), so you can only use this service for updating in the background if someone with administrator permissions has installed this service (maintenanceservice_installer.exe).
