If For the installer, if the service is not installed, there will be a checkbox in the installer for whether or not to install the service component.
→Service installation
Whether a user is an administrator or a limited user account, they can initiate an update. This ability for limited user accounts to do a software update through the service will land separately from the service and is being tracked in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711475 Bug 711475].
== Service installation ==
The service will be installed for users automatically via software application update. There are reasons why the service will not be installed though:* An x64 native build is being used(this also applies to the installer).* An OS lower than XP is being used(this also applies to the installer).* The update is being performed as a limited user account(this also applies to the installer).* The service was previously installed and manually uninstalled. (registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\MaintenanceService and value Attempted=1 means it will never be attempted on application update again).
The service can be uninstalled separately; it shows up as a new item under add/remove programs.
