This Intune guide helps you roll out Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) 115.36.0 from Mozilla with clear packaging, app setup, and deployment tracking steps.

Download Installer

Prepare the Intune Package

1. Create a working folder on your local machine (for example: D:\Intune).
2. Create two subfolders inside the working folder: Input and Output.
   • D:\Intune\Input: Folder for all setup files. All files in this folder are compressed into an .intunewin file.
   • D:\Intune\Output: Stores the generated .intunewin package.
3. Place Firefox Setup 115.36.0esr.exe in the Input folder.
4. Download the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool (IntuneWinAppUtil.exe) and place it in D:\Intune.

Prepare a clean packaging workspace for Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) so source files, output artifacts, and wrapper tools stay isolated and repeatable.

D:\Intune
├── Input
│   └── Firefox Setup 115.36.0esr.exe
├── Output
└── IntuneWinAppUtil.exe

5. Open Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt as Administrator.
6. Navigate to the working folder: cd D:\Intune.
7. Run the following packaging command to generate the Firefox Setup 115.36.0esr.intunewin package. For packaging background, see .intunewin package preparation.

IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c .\Input -s "Firefox Setup 115.36.0esr.exe" -o .\Output

8. After the command finishes, the generated package should be available in the D:\Intune\Output folder.

D:\Intune
├── Input
│   └── Firefox Setup 115.36.0esr.exe
├── Output
│   └── Firefox Setup 115.36.0esr.intunewin
└── IntuneWinAppUtil.exe

Note: Windows application size is capped at 30 GB per app.

12. On the Dependencies page, click Next unless this app must install after another app.

    

13. On the Supersedence page, click Next unless this app replaces an older app.

    

Scope Assignment and Deployment

14. Use staged assignment groups for Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) to keep blast radius low while validating behavior.

    Assignment options

    Required

    Installs the app automatically on targeted users or devices. Use this after install, uninstall, and detection are verified.

    Available for enrolled devices

    Shows the app in Company Portal so users can install it manually. Use this for pilot users, IT validation, or optional apps.

    Uninstall

    Automatically removes the app from targeted devices. Use this when you need to retire or remove the app.

    Note: Start with a dedicated test group before broad deployment. For example, use the Required assignment option to automatically install the app on targeted devices.

    

15. Review all configuration details, then click Create to deploy the app.

    

16. Verify the app in Intune. Confirm that the upload is finished, the application is saved, and the app overview shows the expected package details.

    Note: If Intune says the app is not ready yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the page.

    

Sync the Intune Policies

Use a controlled sync check for Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) to separate assignment timing issues from installer failures.

End User Experience

Validate how Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) appears to users (Company Portal visibility, install prompts, restart behavior) in pilot scope first.

Required apps install automatically. During installation, Windows may show notifications from Microsoft Intune Management Extension. Users can see the app move from installing to installed.

Note: Notification visibility depends on Windows notification settings and Intune app deployment behavior.

Monitor Deployment Status

Track first-wave deployment signals for Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) and focus on repeatable patterns before broadening scope.

Click Device install status or User install status to see the list of devices or users with their installation status.

Uninstall the App from Intune

When the app is no longer needed, remove it by changing the Intune assignment to Uninstall for the target group.

1. Go to Apps → All apps, then select the app you want to remove.

   

2. Open Properties and click Edit next to Assignments.

   

3. Move the target group to the Uninstall section.

   

4. Review the assignment, then click Save. Devices will remove the app after the policy is applied.

   

After saving, the uninstall policy is applied. The device removes the app automatically.

Note: The uninstall process may take a few minutes depending on device check-in and policy sync timing.

Common Issues and Resolutions

Apply this troubleshooting checklist to confirm policy targeting, install context, and detection accuracy before making packaging changes.

Escalate only after confirming scope, command syntax, and detection criteria against a pilot device with a fresh policy sync.

Deployment Fit and Risks

Validate deployment fit for Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) against your packaging standards, restart windows, and endpoint readiness baseline.

• Install behavior is currently set to system; confirm it matches the expected execution context.
• Restart behavior resolves to basedOnReturnCode; align this with maintenance windows and user-impact constraints.
• Validate requirements and detection against real endpoint state before widening assignment scope.
• Use pilot trend data to decide whether to proceed, pause, or adjust assignments before wider rollout.

Validation Steps Before Broad Rollout

• Start with a limited test ring for Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) to confirm behavior across real endpoints.
• Confirm the install command executes silently in the target context: "Firefox Setup 115.36.0esr.exe" /S /DesktopShortcut=false /PrivateBrowsingShortcut=false /MaintenanceService=false /PreventRebootRequired=false.
• Re-check detection behavior (types observed: manual/unspecified) on at least one clean test device.
• Review first-wave results in Intune app reports and Intune Management Extension logs before wider rollout.
• Test one uninstall flow in pilot scope to confirm rollback steps are executable.

Change and Rollback Notes

• Set a version baseline for Firefox ESR 115 (Arabic) (x64) at 115.36.0 so rollback decisions stay auditable.
• Rollback path available via uninstall command: "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefoxuninstallhelper.exe" -ms.
• Keep a holdout ring until broad deployment stabilizes, then retire it after rollback confidence is confirmed.
• When replacing an existing deployment, retire superseded assignments only after validation closes successfully.
