Firefox and Thunderbird install Mozilla Maintenance Service to allow seamless background updates. Learn how it works and how to disable or remove it.

Firefox and Thunderbird install an optional service called the Mozilla Maintenance Service which allows application updates to occur in the background, without requiring you to click {button Yes} in the Windows User Account Control (UAC) dialog. {for mac,linux} {note}'''Note:''' The article only applies to Windows.{/note} {/for} :[[Image:No UAC]] =How does the Mozilla Maintenance Service work?= When Firefox or Thunderbird downloads an application update, the Mozilla Maintenance Service gets permission from Windows to allow the update to be applied, without requiring you to click {button Yes} in the Windows User Account Control (UAC) dialog. Until that time, the service doesn't run so it doesn't use any computer resources and, once the update process begins, the service quits. Want more technical details?
