How do I remove the policy that controls this: "Your browser is being managed by your organization."

I do not have a "Mozlla" in the policies location. All information I see for removing the statement below shows that the word Mozlla is what you remove with Regedit. The information "Your Browser is being managed by your organization."

All I have under Policies is: Adobe, Dell, Google, HP, Microsoft

You can click the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification or open the about:policies page to see if policies are active and if errors are reported.

You can inspect the Mozilla and Firefox keys with the Windows Registry Editor in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and in HKEY_CURRENT_USER with the Windows Registry Editor to see whether GPO policy rules are active.

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\

The mere presence of the "Mozilla\Firefox\" key is sufficient to make Firefox display this notification, so if you have the Firefox key then remove it and only leave the Mozilla key or remove this key as well if it is empty.

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ =>
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\

Another possibility is that you have a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder.
