[Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox auto updating issue

[Osdoba, Sascha]

Dear Daniel,



sorry but that IE will not receive security updates is not true. It depends on the support state/cycle of the operating 
system. For example if you use Windows 10 2016 LTSB you will receive IE security updates until 2026.

  If not we will have to swap the whole company over to IE and will be uninstalling Firefox to avoid further issues.



Note that neither Firefox ESR 52.x nor IE will be receiving further security updates and have known vulnerabilities. There 
are exploits in the wild for IE. There haven't been any reported against ESR-52 but it's only a matter of time. Do not use 
these browsers on computers connected to the public internet unless you have time to deal with ransomware or other malware 
attacks.
