These policies are in active development and so might contain changes that do not work with current versions of Firefox.
You should use the officially released versions if you are deploying changes.
Policies can be specified using the Group Policy templates on Windows, Intune on Windows, configuration profiles on macOS, or by creating a file called policies.json. On Windows, create a directory called distribution where the EXE is located and place the file there. On Mac, the file goes into Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution. On Linux, the file goes into firefox/distribution, where firefox is the installation directory for firefox, which varies by distribution or you can specify system-wide policy by placing the file in /etc/firefox/policies.

Install certificates into the Firefox certificate store. If only a filename is specified, Firefox searches for the file in the following locations:
- Windows
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Certificates
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Certificates
- macOS
- /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Certificates
- ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Certificates
- Linux
- /usr/lib/mozilla/certificates
- /usr/lib64/mozilla/certificates
- ~/.mozilla/certificates
Starting with Firefox 65, Firefox 60.5 ESR, a fully qualified path can be used, including UNC paths. You should use the native path style for your operating system. We do not support using %USERPROFILE% or other environment variables on Windows.
If you are specifying the path in the policies.json file on Windows, you need to escape your backslashes (\\) which means that for UNC paths, you need to escape both (\\\\). If you use group policy, you only need one backslash.
Certificates are installed using the trust string CT,CT,.
Binary (DER) and ASCII (PEM) certificates are both supported.

Configure tracking protection.
If this policy is not configured, tracking protection is not enabled by default in the browser, but it is enabled by default in private browsing and the user can change it.
If Value is set to false, tracking protection is disabled and locked in both the regular browser and private browsing.
If Value is set to true, tracking protection is enabled by default in both the regular browser and private browsing and the Locked value determines whether or not a user can change it.
If Cryptomining is set to true, cryptomining scripts on websites are blocked.
If Fingerprinting is set to true, fingerprinting scripts on websites are blocked.
Exceptions are origins for which tracking protection is not enabled.
Compatibility: Firefox 60, Firefox ESR 60 (Cryptomining and Fingerprinting added in 70/68.2, Exceptions added in 73/68.5)

Control the installation, uninstallation and locking of extensions.
While this policy is not technically deprecated, it is recommended that you use the ExtensionSettings policy. It has the same functionality and adds more. It does not support native paths, though, so you'll have to use file:/// URLs.
Install is a list of URLs or native paths for extensions to be installed.
Uninstall is a list of extension IDs that should be uninstalled if found.
Locked is a list of extension IDs that the user cannot disable or uninstall.

Manage all aspects of extensions. This policy is based heavily on the Chrome policy of the same name.
This policy maps an extension ID to its configuration. With an extension ID, the configuration will be applied to the specified extension only. A default configuration can be set for the special ID "*", which will apply to all extensions that don't have a custom configuration set in this policy.
To obtain an extension ID, install the extension and go to about:support. You will see the ID in the Extensions section. I've also created an extension that makes it easy to find the ID of extensions on AMO. You can download it here.
The configuration for each extension is another dictionary that can contain the fields documented below.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
installation_mode |
Maps to a string indicating the installation mode for the extension. The valid strings are allowed,blocked,force_installed, and normal_installed. |
        allowed |
Allows the extension to be installed by the user. This is the default behavior. There is no need for an install_url; it will automatically be allowed based on the ID. |
        blocked |
Blocks installation of the extension and removes it from the device if already installed. |
        force_installed |
The extension is automatically installed and can't be removed by the user. This option is not valid for the default configuration and requires an install_url. |
        normal_installed |
The extension is automatically installed but can be disabled by the user. This option is not valid for the default configuration and requires an install_url. |
install_url |
Maps to a URL indicating where Firefox can download a force_installed or normal_installed extension. If installing from the local file system, use a file:/// URL. If installing from the addons.mozilla.org, use the following URL (substituting SHORT_NAME from the URL on AMO), https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/SHORT_NAME/latest.xpi. Languages packs are available from https://releases.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/VERSION/PLATFORM/xpi/LANGUAGE.xpi. If you need to update the extension, you can change the name of the extension and it will be automatically updated. Extensions installed from file URLs will additional be updated when their internal version changes. |
install_sources |
A list of sources from which installing extensions is allowed. This is unnecessary if you are only allowing the installation of certain extensions by ID. Each item in this list is an extension-style match pattern. Users will be able to easily install items from any URL that matches an item in this list. Both the location of the *.xpi file and the page where the download is started from (i.e. the referrer) must be allowed by these patterns. This setting can be used only for the default configuration. |
allowed_types |
This setting whitelists the allowed types of extension/apps that can be installed in Firefox. The value is a list of strings, each of which should be one of the following: "extension", "theme", "dictionary", "locale" This setting can be used only for the default configuration. |
blocked_install_message |
This maps to a string specifying the error message to display to users if they're blocked from installing an extension. This setting allows you to append text to the generic error message displayed when the extension is blocked. This could be be used to direct users to your help desk, explain why a particular extension is blocked, or something else. This setting can be used only for the default configuration. |
restricted_domains |
An array of domains on which content scripts can't be run. This setting can be used only for the default configuration. |
updates_disabled |
(Firefox 89, Firefox ESR 78.11) Boolean that indicates whether or not to disable automatic updates for an individual extension. |
Compatibility: Firefox 69, Firefox ESR 68.1 (As of Firefox 85, Firefox ESR 78.7, installing a theme makes it the default.)

Configure default application handlers. This policy is based on the internal format of handlers.json.
You can configure handlers based on a mime type (mimeTypes), a file's extension (extensions), or a protocol (schemes).
Within each handler type, you specify the given mimeType/extension/scheme as a key and use the following subkeys to describe how it is handled.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
action |
Can be either saveToDisk, useHelperApp, useSystemDefault. |
ask |
If true, the user is asked if what they want to do with the file. If false, the action is taken without user intervention. |
handlers |
An array of handlers with the first one being the default. If you don't want to have a default handler, use an empty object for the first handler. Choose between path or uriTemplate. |
        name |
The display name of the handler (might not be used). |
        path |
The native path to the executable to be used. |
        uriTemplate |
A url to a web based application handler. The URL must be https and contain a %s to be used for substitution. |

If this policy set to true, Firefox will not try to create different profiles for installations of Firefox in different directories. This is the equivalent of the MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES environment variable.
If this policy set to false, Firefox will create a new profile for each unique installation of Firefox.
This policy only work on Windows via GPO (not policies.json).

Switch to manual updates only.
If this policy is enabled:
- The user will never be prompted to install updates
- Firefox will not check for updates in the background, though it will check automatically when an update UI is displayed (such as the one in the About dialog). This check will be used to show "Update to version X" in the UI, but will not automatically download the update or prompt the user to update in any other way.
- The update UI will work as expected, unlike when using DisableAppUpdate.
This policy is primarily intended for advanced end users, not for enterprises.

Set permissions associated with camera, microphone, location, notifications, autoplay, and virtual reality. Because these are origins, not domains, entries with unique ports must be specified separately. This explicitly means that it is not possible to add wildcards. See examples below.
Allow is a list of origins where the feature is allowed.
Block is a list of origins where the feature is not allowed.
BlockNewRequests determines whether or not new requests can be made for the feature.
Locked prevents the user from changing preferences for the feature.
Default specifies the default value for Autoplay. block-audio-video is not supported on Firefox ESR 68.

Using the preference as the key, set the Value to the corresponding preference value.
Status can be "default", "locked", "user" or "clear"
"default": Read/Write: Settings appear as default even if factory default differs."locked": Read-Only: Settings appear as default even if factory default differs."user": Read/Write: Settings appear as changed if it differs from factory default."clear": Read/Write:Valuehas no effect. Resets to factory defaults on each startup.
"user" preferences persist across invocations of Firefox. It is the equivalent of a user setting the preference. They are most useful when a preference is needed very early in startup so it can't be set as default by policy. An example of this is toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets.
"user" preferences persist even if the policy is removed, so if you need to remove them, you should use the clear policy.
See the examples below for more detail.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you're only setting a particular preference using this mechanism and not some other way.

Block websites from being visited. The parameters take an array of Match Patterns, as documented in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns. The arrays are limited to 1000 entries each.
If you want to block all URLs, you can use <all_urls> or *://*/*. You can't have just a * on the right side.
For specific protocols, use https://*/* or http://*/*.
As of Firefox 83 and Firefox ESR 78.5, file URLs are supported.
