It looks like the /RemoveDistributionDir=false isn’t valid for 60 ESR according to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/installer/windows/installer/FullConfig.html
Is there any plans to include it in 60 ESR?

In short, if Firefox updates itself, it keeps the distribution dir. If someone uses setup.exe to install a new version, that's called a "pave-over" install that deletes that dir. However, this is just the default behavior, and setup.exe has a command-line flag for this: /RemoveDistributionDir=false I'm waiting for Victor to confirm in the bug if that's what was happening. Hope that helps! Felipe (Does someone want to post this information to the SUMO request mentioned by Philipp?)

I’ve recently been testing this out by manually adding the policies.json file into version 60.2 and updating to 60.3 but when I check in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\policies.json, it disappears and I need to put it back in manually. On a side note, I’ve tested to see whether or not the same issue occurs upgrading from 52.8 to 60.2 and it seems to exist as well. Is this behavior abnormal? If not then is there a way around this to have the policies.json stay on the browser?
