[Mozilla Enterprise] Update scenario's for Firefox

[Dirk Schneider]

I use a "command" in our client management system.

Part a) A webserver (linux) is looking for a new version at firefox
repository, if available it loads this to our own (internal only)
webserver. This strips the version from the name and write it to a
version-string text file.

Part b) If a client starts the command loads the version string test
file from the webserver and compares it to the installed version
(written to the management database). If this one is newer the new
version will be installed and the version is written to the database.
For this we use the mozilla package like downloaded with command line
parameters (firefox-Setup.exe /INI=\our\own\ini.file)

DriveBy - if a installation is not working because of whatever I can set
the version in database for the affected client and with next reboot
firefox will be reinstalled.

And we are not including software in rollout images. We use a vanilla
windows with parameters. After base rollout we are installing client
specific drivers, a base package of software and department specific
software. It's about 10-20% more time against the all-in-image but it is
individual for each department, building a new software compilation is
done in less then 5 minutes.

Kind regards

Dirk
