[Mozilla Enterprise] Error with using system proxy settings (when changing from using "automatic proxy configuration URL" by default via policies.json)

Hello,

Here’s an interesting situation: We’ve recently created a USMT Windows User Profile Backup and Restore package via SCCM and that works fine, however there’s a catch 22 with firefox….

Usually I keep a baseline version of the package via the Software Center and the users can update the browser via the ABOUT menu.

However if a windows profile is restored to a new system (with AppData) and then firefox is installed from the Software Center, of course it’s old and it sees the newer profile as incompatible.

so far the only solution I got is to go ahead and update the baseline version of my Firefox package.

So here’s my questions:

1. Is it possible somehow to load a new profile onto an old Firefox?
2. Is it possible to force Firefox to look for updates as soon as someone tries to open it?
3. If 2. is possible, would it fetch the update before prompting the user to create a new profile?

Please advise, this seems to be a none-issue with Chrome post-user mig.

Thanks

Eric
