Yes, the same ADMX will work for both.

There are a few reasons why background update can not be enabled. Are any of these true?

Firefox must have been installed with the installer (not, for example, from a ZIP file). The Mozilla Maintenance Service must be usable (installed and not disabled). When installing with the Firefox installer, this is the default. Firefox must have a default profile, and it must run using that profile at least once after the feature is enabled. Firefox must not have a language pack installed. Firefox connection settings must be configured to use the system proxy (this is the default).
