Hi Looking to control the following tab options via Intune but i cannot seem to identify the OMI-url settings. Are these setting manageable via OMI-url?

Settings>Tabs>Open links in tabs instead of a new window Settings>Tabs>When you open a link or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately

Thanks in advance

I've moved the thread to Firefox for Enterprise.

I think this would be about this OMA-URI:

  • ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox/Preferences

See Preferences:

This load in background feature is controlled via these browser.tabs prefs:

  • browser.tabs.loadInBackground (normal links)
  • browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript links)
  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (bookmarks)

Everything cor-el said plus:

Settings>Tabs>Open links in tabs instead of a new window is browser.link.open_newwindow

Settings>Tabs>When you open a link or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately is specifically browser.tabs.loadInBackground but as they said, there are others as well.

All browser. prefs can be set via the Preferences policy
