Reasons for Update:

  • Starting from these updates, dynamic download will be used so that only the necessary Firefox binary will be downloaded on the servers. This enhancement is to help improve deployment efficiency.
    Facilitating this update requires adding the download source to the DownloadWhitelist.txt file. This only needs to be done once.
    To do this , go to BigFix Enterprise\BESServer\Mirror Server\Config\ and add http://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/.*, the Firefox download source, to the DownloadWhitelist.txt file.
