About Mozilla Maintenance Service?
The latest version of Firefox includes the Mozilla Maintenance Service as an optional installation. This service streamlines the update process by obtaining permission from the Windows User Account Control (UAC) to automatically install updates without requiring user interaction. The service only runs when necessary, conserving computer resources, and terminates once the update is complete. This feature addresses the previous inconvenience of having to prompt users for elevated permissions in order to apply updates when installed in the default Program Files directory.
