As a domain admin I can't manage FF ("Your browser is being managed by your organization.") - can't remove that
The recommended methods, changing to this in the registry :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\Certificates] "ImportEnterpriseRoots"=dword:00000000
Reverts back to 00000001
Put this policies.json and did nothing: {
"policies": {
"Certificates": {
"ImportEnterpriseRoots": false
}
}
} What am I missing or what's changed?
My specific need at the moment is to add another search engine option in about:preferences#search
Thanks.

In addition to https/ssl scanning by antivirus programs, one of the other usual causes is NordVPN.
Ed, the issue is local as in making policy changes to FF, so VPN isn't relevant, and regardless no VPN active. As in the question, the steps taken have long been documented as how-to, yet no longer working.
Cheers

Ed, as to which OS, did you notice the part about changing Registry settings? AV has zero to do with this - manual edits to registry and the like by a logged in local and Domain admin are recognized as user actions and allowed. Otherwise they'd break the whole Windows OS.
You could ask about it in Discussions and/or file a bug at https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates.
Hey Mike, I'm moving this question over here even though the user isn't using ESR. He does have a Policies question which I'm hoping you can help with.
They're trying to add another search engine option in about:preferences#search. I'm not sure about using registry entries as I thought everyone should be using policies.json nowadays. But I do know that if the formatting of the JSON is not perfect in the policies.json, it will fail to work. I remember some spacing being off around some brackets & I had to use a JSON Editor to properly format it to get a policy to work.
