Highly unlikely indeed - the bug requesting it has been open for over 12 years now, there's been a couple of official attempts to get it working but it's never panned out:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231062 From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wolf, Daniel Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2016 11:00 AM To: [email protected]; Bradley Amm; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Legit Firefox MSI Mozilla is highly unlikely to develop an MSI-based installer. We used to deploy software exclusively in self-built MSIs, but unless you are required to use Group Policy, we've found this is a poor practice. We now use the native, fully supported distribution method, which is often EXE. Packaging MSIs is an art, it's a huge overhead and risk to do it yourself especially when it comes to patching in the future, and developers often include weird actions in their EXE installers you can't just capture with a registry/filesystem diff. Additionally, repackaging software is often against the EULA. Just some thoughts.

Our installation script mainly launches the command "Firefox Setup 38.7.0esr.exe -ms". It works to install for the 1st time but also to update an existing Firefox (Very quick installation or update: not like MSI...) For corporate settings we have another SCCM package using some corporate internal tools (.vbs scripts) so that we can set or reset all user profiles on all machines. This way the main Firefox installation/update package is very easy to update: just change the Firefox Setup xx.x.xesr.exe and re-deploy it.

Our official policy is to get MSI's from the software maker direct instead of using third party sites or makers so using MSI's downloaded from Front Motion won't be allowed on our network due to concerns with Virus/Malware etc. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
