[Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox 71/68.3esr: Profile issues and bugs during upgrade

[James M. Pulver]

At least firefox works for you after the upgrade. We've had a bunch of 
users who firefox wouldn't launch at all. Manual uninstall via control 
panel and then redeploy is all that worked for fixing it. Scripted 
uninstall failed. And the manual uninstall required a reboot!

Also, at least some of these computers this sanfu on Windows 10 seems to 
break Outlook 2016 being able to open hyperlinks by clicking. Changing 
the default browser around doesn't help. We're trying other fixes, but 
this ESR68 has been a disaster here. We've had to push alternate 
browsers for emergency use.
