Keep in mind that in a corporate environment, big parts of user are not 
administrator, so they are simply not questioned by UAC simply because 
they have no privileges to install softwares.

Is it your idea to override windows protection and allows FF to upgrade 
itself even if the current user is not an admin of the workstation?

Imho this is a bad idea, with a big risk of troubles in a corporate 
environment, same behaviour of Google Chrome that installs the 
executable in the home directory of the user to permit a 
never-ending-update even in case of limited account. What if the new 
release does not work anymore with my php-gui interface to the corporate 
SQL server?
