Update channels - Advanced
Updates can be retrieved from a number of different update channels. To check which channel you are on, look in about:config at app.update.channel. This determines what kind of updates you will receive. The current update channels are:
nightly: The nightly channel allows you to update to every nightly test build that is produced. There are nightly channels for the trunk (i.e., current release version plus 3 numbers); this is also a nightly channel for the remaining legacy branches (Firefox 3.6 & Thunderbird 3.1 builds).
aurora: This is a new channel which has been introduced with the rapid-release scheme; these builds reflect changes which also went into beta for the next release, thus making them available immediately, or which were deemed unsuitable for beta but safe for the following release (and, in general don't contain any string changes).
beta: The beta channel lets you receive every beta, release candidate, and release version of the product (e.g. Firefox 1.5 beta 1, Firefox 1.5 RC 1, Firefox 1.5, etc.). With the new rapid-release process (starting with Firefox/Thunderbird 5.0 and SeaMonkey 2.1), every beta is a release candidate for the next version now, and the actual release build is no longer provided on the beta channel.
esr: This is a special release channel for extended-support releases which are mostly targeting enterprise users. Features are frozen with every 7th or so update cycle and only security updates provided (i.e., Firefox/Thunderbird 10.0 ESR updates to 10.0.1, 10.0.2, ..., 10.0.x, then 17.0 as the next ESR branch).
default: This channel is used when there is no channel information, for example if you build Firefox or Thunderbird yourself. There are no updates on this channel. This channel is frequently used by Linux distributions, given that they provide own updates through their respective package-management system.
release: The release channel will provide stable release versions, including security updates (e.g. Firefox 2.0, 2.0.0.4 etc.).

Silent install (always installs into the default location. Use the "Configuration ini file" option below to set the install location and other install options):
<path to setup executable> -ms
Silent uninstall:
<path to setup executable> /S
Configuration ini file (When specifying a configuration ini file the installer will always run silently):
<path to setup executable> [/INI=<full path to configuration ini file>]
The silent install applies only to the full installer and not the stub installer. If you want to perform a silent install you cannot do so with the stub installer and you must use the full installer.
Full installers for Firefox can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ (or for Firefox ESR at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ ).

Silent install (always installs into the default location. Use the "Configuration ini file" option below to set the install location and other install options):
<path to setup executable> -ms
Silent uninstall:
<path to setup executable> /S
Configuration ini file (When specifying a configuration ini file the installer will always run silently):
<path to setup executable> [/INI=<full path to configuration ini file>]
The silent install applies only to the full installer and not the stub installer. If you want to perform a silent install you cannot do so with the stub installer and you must use the full installer.
Full installers for Firefox can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ (or for Firefox ESR at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ ).

.SYNOPSIS
Retrieves the latest Mozilla Firefox version numbers from the Internets, and looks
for the installed Firefox versions on the system. If an outdated Firefox version
is found, tries to update Firefox.
.DESCRIPTION
Update-MozillaFirefox downloads a list of the most recent Firefox version numbers
against which it compares the Firefox version numbers found on the system and
displays, whether a Firefox update is needed or not. Update-MozillaFirefox detects
the installed Firefoxes by querying the Windows registry for installed programs.
The keys from
HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ and
HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ are read on 64-bit
computers, and on the 32-bit computers only the latter path is accessed. At Step 7
Update-MozillaFirefox downloads and writes several Firefox-related files, namely
"firefox_current_versions.json", "firefox_release_history.json",
"firefox_major_versions.json", "firefox_languages.json" and "firefox_regions.json",
which Update-MozillaFirefox uses as data sources. When run in a 'normal' PowerShell
window, and all the detected Firefox versions seem to be up-to-date,
Update-MozillaFirefox will just check that everything is OK and leave without
further ceremony at Step 11.
If Update-MozillaFirefox is run without elevated rights (but with a working Internet
connection) in a machine with an old Firefox version, it will be shown that
a Firefox update is needed, but Update-MozillaFirefox will exit at Step 12 before
downloading any files. To perform an update with Update-MozillaFirefox, PowerShell
has to be run in an elevated window (run as an administrator). If
Update-MozillaFirefox is run in an elevated PowerShell window and no Firefox is
detected, the script offers the option to install Firefox in the "Admin Corner"
(step 11), where, in contrary to the main autonomous nature of Update-MozillaFirefox,
an end-user input is required for selecting the bit-version and the language. In
the "Admin Corner", one instance of either 32-bit or 64-bit version in one of the
available languages is installable with Update-MozillaFirefox the language
selection covers over 30 languages.
In the update procedure itself Update-MozillaFirefox downloads a full Firefox
installer from Mozilla, which is equal to the type that is already installed on
the system (same bit version and language). After writing the Install Configuration
File (firefox_configuration.ini to $path at Step 14, where, for instance,
the automatic Mozilla Maintenance service is disabled and the default shortcuts
are enabled) and stopping several Firefox-related processes, Update-MozillaFirefox
installs the downloaded Firefox on top of the existing Firefox installation,
which triggers the in-built Firefox update procedure.
.OUTPUTS
Displays Firefox related information in console. Tries to update an outdated Firefox
to its latest version, if an old Firefox installation is found, and if
Update-MozillaFirefox is run in an elevated Powershell window. In addition to that...
At Step 7 the baseline Firefox version numbers are written to a file
(firefox_current_versions.json) and also four additional auxillary JSON files
are created, namely:
Firefox JSON Files (at Step 7):
firefox_current_versions.json %TEMP%\firefox_current_versions.json
firefox_release_history.json %TEMP%\firefox_release_history.json
firefox_major_versions.json %TEMP%\firefox_major_versions.json
firefox_languages.json %TEMP%\firefox_languages.json
firefox_regions.json %TEMP%\firefox_regions.json
The %TEMP% location represents the current Windows temporary file folder.
In PowerShell, for instance the the command $env:temp displays the temp-folder
path.
If the actual update procedure including the installation file downloading
is initiated, a Firefox Install Configuration File (firefox_configuration.ini) is
created with one active parameter (other parameters inside the file are commented
out):
Install Configuration File (at Step 14):
firefox_configuration.ini %TEMP%\firefox_configuration.ini
The %TEMP% location represents the current Windows temporary file folder.
In PowerShell, for instance the the command $env:temp displays the temp-folder
path.
To see the actual values that are being written, please see the Step 14 above,
where the following value is written: (altering the duplicated value below won't
affect the script in any meaningful way)
MaintenanceService=false The MozillaMaintenance service is used for silent
updates and may be used for other maintenance
related tasks. It is an optional component. This
option can be used in Firefox 16 or later to skip
installing the service.
For a comprehensive list of available settings and a more detailed description
of the value above, please see the "Installer:Command Line Arguments" at
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments
To open these file locations in a Resource Manager Window, for instance a command
Invoke-Item $env:temp
may be used at the PowerShell prompt window [PS>].
.NOTES
Requires either (a) PowerShell v3 or later or (b) .NET 3.5 or later for importing
and converting JSON-files (at Step 8).
Requires a working Internet connection for downloading a list of the most recent
Firefox version numbers and for downloading a complete Firefox installer from
Mozilla (but the latter procedure is not initiated, if the system is deemed
up-to-date).
For performing any actual updates with Update-MozillaFirefox, it's mandatory to
run this script in an elevated PowerShell window (where PowerShell has been started
with the 'run as an administrator' option). The elevated rights are needed for
installing Firefox on top of the exising Firefox installation.
Update-MozillaFirefox is designed to update only one instance of Firefox. If more
than one instances of Firefox are detected, the script will notify the user in
Step 5, and furthermore, if old Firefox(es) are detected, the script will exit
before downloading the installation file at Step 15.
Please note that the Firefox installation configuration file written at Step 14
disables the Mozilla Maintenance service so that the Mozilla Maintenance service
will not be installed during the Firefox update. The values set with the Install
Configuration File (firefox_configuration.ini) are altering the system files and
seemingly are written somewhere deeper to the innards of Mozilla Firefox
semi-permanently.
Please also notice that when run in an elevated PowerShell window and an old
Firefox version is detected, Update-MozillaFirefox will automatically try to
download files from the Internet without prompting the end-user beforehand or
without asking any confirmations (at Step 16 and onwards) and at Step 17 closes
a bunch of processes without any further notice.
Please note that the downloaded files are placed in a directory, which is specified
with the $path variable (at line 42). The $env:temp variable points to the current
temp folder. The default value of the $env:temp variable is
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp (i.e. each user account has their own
separate temp folder at path %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp). To see the current
temp path, for instance a command
[System.IO.Path]::GetTempPath()
may be used at the PowerShell prompt window [PS>]. To change the temp folder for instance
to C:\Temp, please, for example, follow the instructions at

.EXAMPLE
help ./Update-MozillaFirefox -Full
Displays the help file.
.EXAMPLE
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine
This command is altering the Windows PowerShell rights to enable script execution
in the default (LocalMachine) scope, and defines the conditions under which Windows
PowerShell loads configuration files and runs scripts in general. In Windows Vista
and later versions of Windows, for running commands that change the execution policy
of the LocalMachine scope, Windows PowerShell has to be run with elevated rights
(Run as Administrator). The default policy of the default (LocalMachine) scope is
"Restricted", and a command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted" will "undo" the changes
made with the original example above (had the policy not been changed before...).
Execution policies for the local computer (LocalMachine) and for the current user
(CurrentUser) are stored in the registry (at for instance the
HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\ExecutionPolicy key), and remain
effective until they are changed again. The execution policy for a particular session
(Process) is stored only in memory, and is discarded when the session is closed.
Parameters:
Restricted Does not load configuration files or run scripts, but permits
individual commands. Restricted is the default execution policy.
AllSigned Scripts can run. Requires that all scripts and configuration
files be signed by a trusted publisher, including the scripts
that have been written on the local computer. Risks running
signed, but malicious, scripts.
RemoteSigned Requires a digital signature from a trusted publisher on scripts
and configuration files that are downloaded from the Internet
(including e-mail and instant messaging programs). Does not
require digital signatures on scripts that have been written on
the local computer. Permits running unsigned scripts that are
downloaded from the Internet, if the scripts are unblocked by
using the Unblock-File cmdlet. Risks running unsigned scripts
from sources other than the Internet and signed, but malicious,
scripts.
Unrestricted Loads all configuration files and runs all scripts.
Warns the user before running scripts and configuration files
that are downloaded from the Internet. Not only risks, but
actually permits, eventually, running any unsigned scripts from
any source. Risks running malicious scripts.
Bypass Nothing is blocked and there are no warnings or prompts.
Not only risks, but actually permits running any unsigned scripts
from any source. Risks running malicious scripts.
Undefined Removes the currently assigned execution policy from the current
scope. If the execution policy in all scopes is set to Undefined,
the effective execution policy is Restricted, which is the
default execution policy. This parameter will not alter or
remove the ("master") execution policy that is set with a Group
Policy setting.
__________
Notes: - Please note that the Group Policy setting "Turn on Script Execution"
overrides the execution policies set in Windows PowerShell in all
scopes. To find this ("master") setting, please, for example, open
the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and navigate to
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >
Windows Components > Windows PowerShell.
- The Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is not available in any
Home or Starter edition of Windows.
- Group Policy setting "Turn on Script Execution":
Not configured : No effect, the default
value of this setting
Disabled : Restricted
Enabled - Allow only signed scripts : AllSigned
Enabled - Allow local scripts and remote signed scripts : RemoteSigned
Enabled - Allow all scripts : Unrestricted
For more information, please type "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List", "help Set-ExecutionPolicy -Full",
"help about_Execution_Policies" or visit https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849812.aspx
or http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
.EXAMPLE
New-Item -ItemType File -Path C:\Temp\Update-MozillaFirefox.ps1
Creates an empty ps1-file to the C:\Temp directory. The New-Item cmdlet has an inherent
-NoClobber mode built into it, so that the procedure will halt, if overwriting (replacing
the contents) of an existing file is about to happen. Overwriting a file with the New-Item
cmdlet requires using the Force. If the path name and/or the filename includes space
characters, please enclose the whole -Path parameter value in quotation marks (single or
double):
New-Item -ItemType File -Path "C:\Folder Name\Update-MozillaFirefox.ps1"
For more information, please type "help New-Item -Full".
