Which firewall exceptions do I need to define to allow automatic updates?
We use Firefox on a administrative workstation which must not have general access to the Internet. Which firewall exceptions do I need to define (IP addresses, ports), so that Firefox can automatically download updates?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The update URL is generated via the app.update.url pref that you can inspect on the about:config page.
If you want to see the exact URL then install the Live Http Headers extension and open its window. If you open "Help > About" then this will trigger an update check to retrieve an update.xml file and you should see the full URL in the LHH capture window.
