Firefox Install Location/Versions
Hello,
I am working to convert my Org to Firefox ESR, but in order to this I need to uninstall the per user install of Firefox. We have many users that have the Firefox.exe located in their Local Appdata folder. So I need to test the uninstall of the Appdata install and then the install of ESR. But the problem is I haven't been able to get Firefox to automatically install into the appdata folder. How am I able to do this? The users who have it installed in the appdata folder are not admins on their computers. When I'm testing I've also been using a normal user account. Please let me know how I can install the exe into the appdata folder automatically without me specifically placing it there or which exe version I need to do this.
Thanks!

I've figured it out. When the user is prompted for admin credentials to install it and they click no, and firefox will go through the per user install which installs in the appdata folder.

Thanks for sharing, Terry, but I've gone through this previously and this isn't the solution. My users wouldn't be picking the Appdata local folder on their own. There has to be some way or version where Firefox defaults to the Appdata Local folder to install over program files.
You can configure the Firefox installer via command line parameters.

Does that help?
My guess at what's happening here, though, is that as you said, the user doesn't have admin privileges, so when they go to install, it goes into AppData.
