Hi all,

Theres some nice scripts I've found here that automatically update/install Firefox and Firefox ESR. We had a requirement to do the same for Firefox Developer Edition. I had some problems getting the full version of FF Developer (It wasn't in info.plist) and ended up having to log a bug with Mozilla. A developer then showed me where to get the full version.

Anyway I thought I'd post this and share with the community :)
