Just adding confirmation to Timo's comments that using the MSI GUID will not
work.
-----
Will, I use SCCM heavily, and for my Firefox ESR Application's "Detection
Method", I use the following "Detection Rule" instead of the MSI GUID:
Setting Type: Registry
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox 68.2.0
ESR (x64 en-US)
Value: DisplayVersion
Data Type: String
Radio Button selection: "This registry setting must exist on the target system
to indicate presence of this application"
There are many other detection method variants that will work; just keep in
mind that if Mozilla ever changes the reg key naming scheme to not include the
version and/or lang, this detection method could break. At that point you can
just use the other radio button selection of "This registry setting must
satisfy the following rule to indicate the presence of this application" and
set the Operator to "Contains" and whatever the version is in the "Value" field.

AFAIK that is by design. That msi is exe-wrapper and after install there is no
trace that it was installed using .msi. You can't uninstall it using msiexec /x
{productcode} either.
You need to treat it like if it were installed using .exe.
