With the launcher process fully deployed in 68, we should create a knowledge base article for users who run Firefox on Windows from a script or batch file.
If the user's script/batch file expects to wait for the browser to exit before it continues executing, they should modify their script(s) to add the -wait-for-browser option to the Firefox command line.

(If their script does not need to wait for Firefox to finish before it continues, they do not need to change anything)

To Joni: Can you review whether this article is needed?

Hi :aklotz,
We might need a little more info to determine if it's out of scope for SUMO. How common is this use case? Is it for Firefox Enterprise?

Hi Joni,
I would expect this mostly in two scenarios:
- Firefox Enterprise;
- Using/testing Firefox for web development purposes.
Of course, some home users might be doing this as well, but those cases would be outliers.

In case it helps whoever writes the new article, we can include (or link to) the following:
