Updating as a least privilege user

Making moves

Dear firefox developers

I'd like to bring to your attention that the Firefox update requires administrative privileges which is not apparently available to a usual windows domain user.

In comparison, Chrome can update itself without asking for those privileges. This discourages users from keep using your great web browser.

Please take appropriate actions.

Hmm, I think the Mozilla Maintenance Service was supposed to solve this problem. Are you sure Firefox was not originally installed by running the installer as the administrator? That might cause ongoing problems.
