Cross-platform policy support can be implemented using a JSON file called policies.json.

[[Template:enterprise]] Policy support can be implemented using a JSON file called policies.json. Unlike controlling Firefox with [[Customizing Firefox Using Group Policy|using Group Policy]], the policies.json is cross-platform compatible, making it preferred method for enterprise environments that have workstations running various operating systems. To implement this policy support, a <code>policies.json</code> file needs to be created. This file goes into a directory called <code>distribution</code> within the Firefox installation directory. This directory is not usually included by default, so you may need to manually create this directory. The policies.json file looks like this: { "policies": { "BlockAboutConfig": true } } In this example, we are setting the <code>BlockAboutConfig</code> policy to <code>true</code>, which means that the user will not have access to the <code>about:config</code> page. The latest information about our policies is available in [https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md the README on our GitHub repository]. {note}'''NOTE:''' The above method will not work if Firefox is already being managed using Group Policy.{/note}
