Silent uninstall of Firefox from User Profiles

I manage SCCM in my environment, and have been successfully offering Firefox ESR for a while now, along with silent updates when new versions are released.

Today I realised that not all of my users are using the ESR version from the Software Centre (90.10.0), but have instead installed the normal version to their profile (ranging from 83.x.x to 101.x.x). These are clearly not being updated, and it's been flagged by security scans.

So, I'm looking for a way to remove them silently with a script that I can insert into the ESR deployment, and replace these unsupported versions.

Can anyone help me?

We do have a way to silently uninstall

That is to uninstall the Enterprise version, right?

That's not what I'm trying to achieve. I'm trying to install Enterprise, but I need to remove the "normal" version they have installed to their profile without admin rights first. Because otherwise, they'll end up with two installations - one in their profile (which only gets updated if/when they use it), and one in Program Files which gets updated by SCCM every month.

Those instructions are for regular Firefox too.

As long as you are running helper.exe in the directory where a version of Firefox is installed, it should only uninstall that Firefox.
