Windows GPO Help with JSON configs
Environment: Windows 10 22h2 clients, latest ESR build, Domain servers Windows 2016 or better.
So I followed the guide https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#extensionsettings and tried to set up the config. We are using the latest ESR build but after the settings is applied I still dont have working extensions.
Here is the code
{
"*": {
"blocked_install_message": "Addon or Extension is not approved. Please submit a ticket to Help Desk if you need access to this extension.",
"install_sources": ["https://addons.mozilla.org/"],
"installation_mode": "blocked"
},

},

},
"its_addons_wrap@onelog.com": {

}
}
I have placed the settings in HKCU but also tried in HKLM and there has been no difference. in each case I get Unable to parse JSON for Extensionsettings when checking the about:policies section and when I look at the registry I see the REG_MULTI_SZ value but when i click on it to read it I get another error message. Cannot edit ExtensionSettings: Error reading the values contents.
I tried re-entering the code and tried not listing the install URLs and even tried only listing 1 item. I haven't been able to get past this error so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help here. I am not used to JSON and the error I got in Windows wasn't clear that is was a simple format error. thanks also for the web link, I'll be sure to use that in the future.
I'm going to see if I can make the error better.
