When a user logs onto the PC, FF creates the Task scheduler folder but not the task inside. This only get created once the user opens FF for the first time.

So as an admin how would I manage the updates for FF when the user never opens Firefox?

Our background task requires that a Firefox user has been created, so it won't work unless the user has opened Firefox at least once.
