This works fine : start /wait Firefox\firefox.exe /S for install

You cannot start firefox with -silent

Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
[parameters]

The first parameter is the title if its in quotes, so to use paths with spaces you have to set the title, like this.

start /wait "" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -silent -setDefaultBrowser
