We don’t use the Firefox updater, so I didn’t realize this!  It seems I should 
make my install script behave similarly, and install to different folders 
depending on whether it’s an upgrade or new install.

It makes a person wonder why they bothered having two Program Files folders 
when Windows went 64-bit.

 I believe that's what our own 32-->64 migrations do for automatic updates.

May be bad form, but I don't think there's anything technically stopping you 
from installing 64-bit Firefox into "Program Files (x86)" and just letting the 
shortcuts continue to point there.

So I have my ESR 60 (64-bit) configuration ready, but I’m struggling with how 
to deploy to computers with ESR 52 (32-bit) on Windows 10.

By default, it leaves ESR 52 installed.  So I added an uninstall command at the 
beginning of my install script.

The Start Menu and Taskbar pins are broken.  For the Start Menu pin, a 
workaround was to rename/copy the shortcut “Firefox.lnk” to “Mozilla 
Firefox.lnk”.  The taskbar pin I’m stumped.  It disappears from all profiles, 
assumedly because the path changed from “Program Files (x86)” to “Program 
Files”.  I can’t think of any good workarounds for this…

How is everyone else handling this?
