This article is intended for IT administrators who wish to set up Firefox on the computers within their organization.
Policies can be defined in a JSON file called policies.json. Unlike controlling Firefox with using Group Policy, policies.json is cross-platform, making it the preferred method for enterprise environments that have workstations running various operating systems.
- On Windows, create a directory called
distributionwhere the EXE is located and place the file there. - On macOS, the file goes into
Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution. - On Linux, the file goes into
firefox/distribution, wherefirefoxis the installation directory for Firefox, which varies by distribution - or you can specify system-wide policy by placing the file in/etc/firefox/policies.
The policies.json file has the following format:
{
"policies": {
"BlockAboutConfig": true
}
}
In this example, we are setting the BlockAboutConfig policy to true, which means that the user will not have access to the about:config page.
For a detailed guide, see Configuring Firefox using policies.json guide.
NOTE: The policies.json method will not work if Firefox is already being managed using Group Policy.
