Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Install/Uninstall/Update distribution

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 06:16:17 -0800

I've tried updating a PC from 52ESR to 68ESR (without installing 60ESR in between) and bookmarks and history were migrated ok. In which cases can fail a migrated profile from 52 to 68?

I set the environment variable MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES to 1 and I executed this script:

TASKKILL /F /IM Firefox* /T

IF EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox" (
    "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" -ms
    "%WinDir%\System32\timeout.exe" /T 10 /NOBREAK
    IF EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox" (
        RMDIR /S /Q "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox"
    )
    DEL %Public%\Desktop\*Firefox*.lnk
    RMDIR /S /Q "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox"
    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla /F
    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins /F
    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org /F
)

IF EXIST "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox" (
    "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" -ms
    "%WinDir%\System32\timeout.exe" /T 10 /NOBREAK
    IF EXIST "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\%\Mozilla Firefox" (
        RMDIR /S /Q "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox"
    )
    DEL %Public%\Desktop\*Firefox*.lnk
    RMDIR /S /Q "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox"
    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla /F
    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\mozilla.org /F
    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins /F
)

IF EXIST "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Maintenance Service" (
    "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Maintenance Service\Uninstall.exe" /S
    "%WinDir%\System32\timeout.exe" /T 10 /NOBREAK
    RMDIR /S /Q "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Maintenance Service"
)

"%WinDir%\System32\timeout.exe" /T 10 /NOBREAK

C:\Users\User\Desktop\"Firefox Setup 68.2.0esr x64.exe" /S

You think this is a bad idea?

This may be OK for an individual, but shouldn't Enterprise software
be centrally upgradable by the sysadmin for *all* the users at once? The
recent changes to Firefox seem to keep requiring lots of attention by
the *individual* users. (And the upgrade path doesn't seem to allow easy
transition from version N-2 to version N, unlike with most software.)

I agree that this trend of individuals over corporate is alarming and not only about FF, it is seen in many other programs too. For Firefox I hope this is one-time case, the actual engine change happened between 53 and 60 breaking a lot of things and I hope backward compatibility is now maintained from 60 onwards. You just need to figure out how to make this odd situation feasible to your users.

Frankly I think FF should be able to convert profiles from 52 to 68 and next profile-breaking version, and next and so on (60 could do it, why not 68), even if the direction is just one way. As you said it is only N-2 away from current version. But what is done is done, too late to fix things now.
