PCs managed via InTune – Must bypass UAC prompt for silent uninstall

I manage a set of PCs via Microsoft InTune, and a pre-installed software (Firefox) must be uninstalled from those PCs due to company policy.

I found a way to perform a silent uninstall (Firefox doesn't show its uninstaller) with Firefox uninstall parameters (-ms or /S), but I'm still blocked by a Windows UAC prompt, asking permission to proceed with changes on the system. This happens even when I try the uninstall locally, as a local admin; and therefore, it can't work when triggered centrally via InTune.

Is there a way to bypass this UAC prompt so that the uninstallation is truly silent, allowing me to automate it via an InTune job?

Many thanks!
