How do I remove various older versions of Fire fox from my enterprise using SCCM version 2211.

there are no tricks to this. Do it the exact same why you deploy an app. A quick search will fine lot of blog and videos..

There are multiple ways to do this, use a PS script, deploy a package etc. Mozilla forums should have lot of information on this.

Normally I would agree with this, however Firefox doesn't work with that method. They use a separate program "helper.ece" that no matter how you try to use it it will not uninstall. They also do not conform to the .msi packaging rules so I their installation/ uninstall action packages are not real msi packages.

Being an exe VS msi doesn't matter. What error are you getting when you uninstall? What do the logs say is happening? How exactly did you trigger the uninstall?

This issue seems to be ongoing with Mozilla (prob 5 yrs and counting and no fix).
