Disable Firefox Update - VBscript

I have a batch file that disables Firefox update check on the user machines. Can you guys convert the following batch file into a VBscript so it could be pushed out more effectively?

:BlockFirefoxUpdate
for /F "tokens=1 delims= " %%a in ('dir "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" /b') do
call :BlockFirefoxUpdateSub %%a
goto :BlockFirefoxUpdateEnd
:BlockFirefoxUpdateSub
type "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%1\prefs.js" | find "app.update.enabled" | find "false"
if %errorlevel%==1 echo user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);>>"%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%1\prefs.js"
exit /b
:BlockFirefoxUpdateEnd

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

sProgPath = GetEnvironmentVariable ("ProgramFiles")
sinstalldir= sprogfiles & "\Mozilla Firefox"

currentDirectory = left(WScript.ScriptFullName,(Len(WScript.ScriptFullName))-(len(WScript.ScriptName)))

srcFilePath = currentDirectory & "Payload\prefs.js"
destpath = sInstalldir & "\defaults\Profile\"

fso.CreateFolder destpath

fso.copyfile srcFilePath, destpath, TRUE
