Firefox won't uninstall automatically via GPO

Firefox Enterprise Installation and updates

Hello,

We have set up a GPO in our Active Directory environment for the install of Firefox which works great, however since at least version 90, we have had an issue where Firefox won't uninstall automatically when removing the computer object from the security group associated with the GPO. The box is ticked to "uninstall this application when it falls out of scope of management", which works for every other GPO we have created. The computer removes the assignment of the application, but does not then remove the application as it should.

Are you aware of this issue?

Thanks.

Are you installing the MSI or the EXE?

We have an open ticket for this but unfortunately have not been able to solve it

There's some information in that bug about setting up other detection methods.

Another option might be to use the MSIX
