We downloaded the GPO Templates for AD and looking to customize Firefox.

We would like to disable Forms and Autofill: Autofill addresses Autofill credit cards

Also would like to lock down so they can't reenable if possible.

We would like to do this all through GPOs if possible. I found these in the about:config: extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled extensions.formautofill.creditCards.enabled

But again want to do through the GPO. Is this possible?

Side note while working on GPOs, I set Exceptions for the popup blocker and they are not showing up in the browser. I also filled out to remove Search Engines but they all still appear in the browsers. These two GPO settings don't appear to be working.

Is there a way to force Firefox updates within a specified time window via group policy? The ADMX templates appear to allow enabling or disabling updates or enforcing background updates, but we are not seeing an option in Group Policy to configure a delay or time window for searching for app updates.

Version: Firefox ESR 102.9.0 (64-bit) - Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2

Customers have been complaining for about 6 months that they can no longer drag and drop email attachments from Outlook (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 - Exchange) into a Help Desk formula. I tested dragging from Outlook desktop and from the web version.

Drag and Drop works when using Edge and Chrome.

This is not a major issue, since customers can use the other browsers, but since they would prefer to use Firefox, a fix would really be appreciated.  :-)

I am pushing out bookmarks company-wide through Intune on users Laptops. I spoke with Microsoft support and the configuration policy is created correctly and I followed Firefox's support page in creating them. It seems that the new JSON script that tells Firefox what bookmarks is unable to parse.

Anyone know if Firefox had an update that prevents intune from sending the JSON file?

Error message given through firefox.

We try to deploy Extension Management Settings via GPO.

Goal is to allow only whitelisted extensions, but don't block themes, dictionaries and locales.

Below find the JSON-settings deployed to the client, which should allow all themes and whitelisted extensions. Unfortunately this blocks everything except whitelisted IDs. See example screenshot with error-message, when trying to install a theme. We don't want to whitelist locales or themes, they should be still allowed for installation.

What I'm doing wrong? - Thanks for your feedback.

I work in an enterprise environment. We have certain requirements that we must maintain for our system to maintain accreditation. One of these requirements is to prevent the installation of add-ons using the policies.json file.

We are also trying to develop an extension that adds banners to each page the user interacts with. I understand this can be loaded using the process [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploying-firefox-with-extensions|he...] and does not have to be signed following this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-system-add-ons-firefox-enter...] .

My question is, before embarking on the journey to create this web extension, can it still be installed following the enterprise process, despite being denied by default by the policies.json? Or is there a way to allow for the extension to be installed by changing the policy?

Been managing bookmarks for users through Intune, but for some reason on my HP Elitebook 840 I keep getting an error "Unable to parse JSON for ManagedBookmarks" I haven't changed anything to the bookmarks before swapping to the HP laptop from a Dell 5410. I have double-checked GitHub for the proper string for bookmarks and everything looks to be correct as well as submitting a support case with Microsoft who checked it and say it is something on Firefox's side that needs fixing.

I am also constantly getting this unknown extension setting. Not sure why I have this or where I can remove it.

We have Firefox-ESR in use and we are using Applocker.

When we enable applocker dll Rule policys and start https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com page clearkey addon crashes.

We have allowed widevinedrm.dll in applocker rule policys, and we have used Process Monitor to track which dll file / files are being "locked" but we cant seem to pinpoint it.

Where does Firefox-ESR run DRM content and which dll files are needed to run ?

What we know that it is caused by applocker DLL rule policys, when disabling it clearkey addon does not crash and drm content can be played.

Also Applocker eventlogs does not show anything related to this.

Hello. I have trying to test a GPO this week that will lock down the use of extensions. In summary we are shifting to a complete "deny all/allow by exception format".

As a reference I have been using the below article as my source on how to set this up. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates#extensionsettings

After reading through the article the base example they have works flawlessly. I have put this base example below.


{

 "*": {
   "blocked_install_message": "Custom error message.",
   "install_sources": ["https://yourwebsite.com/*"],
   "installation_mode": "blocked",
   "allowed_types": ["extension"]
 },
 "uBlock0@raymondhill.net": {
   "installation_mode": "force_installed",
   "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/ublock-origin/latest.xpi"
 },
 "https-everywhere@eff.org": {
   "installation_mode": "allowed"
 }

}


The minute I try to change it though the whole thing breaks. For context, I have tried adding 1 password as a forced installed add in, and also try placing it below under allowed. See my example below of the one where I am putting it is allowed. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?

I am looking for information regarding the support life for settings that are defined in the Preferences (Deprecated) section of the ADMX templates provided in GitHub. There doesn't appear to be a definitive answer as to when these preferences are no longer applicable to a version of Firefox. The term "Deprecated" certainly applies they're on their way to extinction. But only a small handful of preferences have been ported over to non-deprecated template settings (like Auto Update). Is there an expected version of Firefox where all these preferences are meaningless? Or will they be supported indefinitely? "Industry recommendations' from 3rd party security vendors are bloating my policies in the domain space and I can't definitively say they are 'no longer supported as of version xyz' for all these Firefox Preference settings, which happen to be about 80% of the security parameters defined by STIG and/or CIS Workbench.

Hello,

I have a problem with a pac file in our org. We download it from a server. The basic functionality is applied and it does redirect the desired traffic to the proxy. The problem occurs when the proxy goes down, it then should automaticaly start making direct connections, but the connections fail. We want to proxy only http and https and event that with some exceptions.

It was done according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_PAC_file#example_6

Is there any problem with PAC file or does the browser have issues with the config?

Thanks for any help.

When deployed to test devices, all extension previously installed get removed and Ublock get installed, seem like working as intended but when I try to install any "Allowed" I get the block installed message. I see no error in "about:policies". I don't know where else to look for why its getting blocked?

Any help will be much appreciated.

We have Firefox rapid-release (not ESR) deployed on Windows 10 across our Enterprise where users do not have local Administrator privileges.

Occasionally the rapid-release updates fail to be installed, with the updater requiring Admin privileges to execute. For example, today a user's Firefox 111.0.1 was asking for elevate to update to 112.0.

The IT team user accounts also are non-admin, but we have not run into this, and judging from the lack of support tickets on this I would say most of our users are not running into this either.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid this, or troubleshoot further?
