Mozilla Background Task Profiles Folder - Intune Packaging #1234
-
|
Hi all, was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, currently packaging the latest msi installer for Intune, have noticed on install a folder gets created in C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Background Task Profiles\xxx.MozillaBackgroundTask-3820xx... This folder didn't seem to get created in our previous version 127.0 but does now in 140.0.4. Does anyone know why this is the case? Or are there any patch/release notes with any information? Im struggling to find any. This has been flagged in our environment as an unsafe folder so need to understand why before we push it. Thanks!! |

So I've talked to the team about this, and here's the gist: Profiles under Background Task Profiles are profiles for Firefox Background Tasks that need to store data and therefore persist their profile. At this time I believe it's just the background updater and default agent, distinguished by having a -backgroundupdate or -defaultagent suffix. This has been around since Firefox 104 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1775132) So as far as we can tell, there is nothing new, and we're not sure why you didn't see it before. |
