Is there anyway to completely disable or remove this service (AppXSVC)?

The first thing to note is that it has nothing to do with FireFox:

What Is wsappx?

The wsappx process includes two seperate background services. On both Windows 8 and 10, wsappx includes the AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC). On Windows 10, you’ll also see the Client License Service (ClipSVC). On Windows 8, you’ll also see the Windows Store Service (WSService) instead of ClipSVC.

This service is started on demand and if disabled Store applications will not be deployed to the system, and may not function properly.

Source: AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC) always runs at Startup despite set as Manual. How comes?

The above link contains instructions to disable it but if you do so Store applications will not be deployed to the system, and may not function properly as noted previously
