[Dave Ewart]

You could uninstall the maintenance service via:

"%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Mozilla Maintenance Service\Uninstall.exe" /S

after the Firefox install has completed.

As a work around, I’ve written a VBS file which copies the file into a consistent location, and the installation runs as required, but this feels inelegant.  Has anyone got a better solution?
