The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled
Security updates ensure that users are safe from known software bugs and vulnerabilities.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Enabled :
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Mozilla\Firefox\Background updater
