Why is there now a message at the top of the page saying that my browser is now managed by my organization? I am the organization, so to speak. I am a one woman show and have no idea where that information came from. I have put on weight during the pandemic but still don't think I can be mistaken for an organization!

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you, Carol

Hi Carol, that message alerts you that either a Policy or a startup script file is locking certain settings in your Firefox browser.

As a first step, you could take a look at the internal About Policies page. To open that page, type or paste about:policies in the address bar and press Enter to load it. There are two sections, Active and Documentation. Is there anything listed on the Active section or does it say "The Enterprise Policies service is inactive."?
